I've not seen this before, I'll have a look later when I've finished all my jobs or I won't get any brownie points from "She who must be obeyed".  ;)

Many thanks Dawn, regards Phil

Not sure how it will effect things but your more than likely right.

It did occur to me that my Sister and Brother may not know they are adopted, or if they do, out of respect may not think it is the right time to go looking if their adopted parents are still alive, can't blame them for that can you.

Still I live in hope that it will happen, if it's meant to be it will happen. It dose vex me though that when they changed it in 2005/6 that they didn't put something in place instead of leaving it to the private sector, councils could and should of been forced to have an intermediary service but hey ho.

Better shut up, I'm a bit off topic. Like the idea of a TV documentary mentioned earlier though. Thanks for your input, Phil

Just a quick look about but didn't find the original item, if I can find I will repost here.

It looks as if it may come into force later this year, have a look at this and see what you think.

I assume if the death is registered it flags up somewhere and gets attached to the file, just a guess. It came up in one of the lost Cousin's news letters, if I can find the article I post it on here, don't hold your breath though it was a bit back.

Hi Dawn, I have registered with the contact register but as yet nothing has come of it. The only good thing is they are probably alive as I have heard that if an adopted has since died the GRO can now inform you, So perhaps there is still time to find them.

Hi, I too am looking for information on this place. My Mother was forced by my Grandmother to put my younger Sister up for adoption in February 1961 (she was born Jan 22)and all I get from Hackney Council is a cold shoulder. My Mother and Father were still married at the time but were having difficulties.

It's beginning to look like I might not be able to trace her, given the stories on this forum.
I have already traced two half Sisters using GR and FB, inquired at NORCAP before it went belly up and am now looking at After Adoption to help me trace not only my Sister but also my Brother who was adopted out a year later in Barnet.

They are so dam expensive, so I'm looking for anyway I can short circuit the system and do most of if not all the work myself. I wouldn't contact them directly as they may not know they are adopted or want contact for that matter but I got that covered.

So if anyone knows where I can get some information I would be eternally grateful. Regards Phil
