Birth Parent Search For Child Adopted

www.adoptionsearchuk.co.uk

Unfortunately, under British law, it appears to be illegal to try and make contact with an adopted child, at least until they turn 18.

Once your adopted child has turned 18, you should apply to the Adoption Registries, who can be contacted as follows:
