Louise You should contact the social services department in the area where you were adopted. They will be able to advise you and help you in your search. Good luck. Lynne

Hi Louise, As your adoption was pre 1975 you would need counselling before you would be allowed to view your records. If it is a copy of your original birth cert you were after, in order to get your full birth details, you should be able to order this online, however, in adoption cases a lot of times fathers details are not entered on the cert, unless they were present with the birth mother when the birth was registered. Hope this information helps. Best Wishes Sheila
