Could you please contact me if you know of any way of finding out about adoption agencies (which one my half sisters adoption went through)Also would anyone know of an internet electoral roll search that doesn't cost anything so I could at least look up to see if it has anything on there.

Fran From the "Getting Started" section on this website: Adoption Before formal adoption came into existence 1927 it can be very difficult to discover the original name of an adopted child. Thereafter, the adopted person (or their next-of-kin if they are deceased) can apply for the original birth certificate to the Registrar General's office at the Office for National Statistics, General Register Office (Adoption Section), Smedley Hydro, Trafalgar Road, Southport, Merseyside, PR2 2HH, who will issue an application form. People adopted before 12 November 1975 you will need to attend a 'Birth Records Counselling Interview'. Smedley Hydro also maintain a National Adoption Contact Register for England and Wales, where adopted people and relations of people who were adopted can register their interest in being reunited, a function now mirrored, unofficially, by Genes Reunited. Clearly, adoption is a very sensitive issue and all first contact between adopted children and their original families should be handled as sensitively as possible by all parties concerned. LN
