Have a look here for details of the adopted person's contact register: www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/adoptions/ As you are not the adopted person you will not be able to have access to the file to find out their new names. You can leave your name in the hope that they might wish to contact you. nell

This is the General Register Office web page giving information and advice for birth relatives wanting access to adoption records following the recent change in the law: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/adoptions/accesstoadoptionrecordsforbirthrelatives/ Liz
