The Locating Adoption Records Database
Over a number of years we have developed and maintained a unique database that can be used to find out where adoption records might be held. The database can be searched using information about a home (maternity, mother & baby, shelter etc), organisation or local authority involved in the birth or adoption, or a staff member who worked in one of these homes or organisations. The results show the most likely current holder of the adoption records, and include full contact details so that further enquiries can be made.
Access to the database
Database searches can be conducted by individuals searching for information for their own use or by agencies who are working with individuals.
