Any tips for an Adoptee looking for information regarding their birth parents. The only information I have is what appears on my birth certificate

Is that your post adoption or you pre-adoption cert? You may well have your original birth cert, but have you applied for your adoption file from Social services? Jess

Hi Nathan Do you have your ORIGINAL birth certificate? or the adoption one? www.gro.gov.(uk) remove brackets This web site will tell you how to go about getting your original certificate, you need to be counselled before you can get it, this can be done locally(just a formality really). Anyway, have a look at the web site, it's very interesting.you can order certificates on there online too. If I can help Just ask Ann

Hi Nat You could try looking at the electoral rolls (or asking for a look up on GR). 192.(com) have up to date ones, You can get the names + telephone numbers without paying, if you want the addresses you have to pay. Regards Ann
