Lincolnshire / Re: Quarry maternity home,
« on: Monday 19 February 24 18:07 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I have rung a number for Adoption Support and had to leave a message. I can follow up with an email if nobody gets back to me. I have also put in a request for a birth certificate for my husband's birth name, but I wonder if it gets flagged up on the system as an adoption and not given out, or that it does not include names of any parents. That would be understandable.
We are not looking at DNA searches yet.
As you say, this is a very sensitive subject for everyone concerned. My understanding is that at some point my husband would have to meet up with a support officer as he was born before 1975. It would certainly help him to talk to someone. At the moment he just wants to have an idea of a family tree.

 Hi, I posted this on the other thread about Quarry Home but someone suggested to post it on this one, so here goes....Hello, I have read some of the posts about the Quarry Maternity Home, not far from the cathedral in Lincoln. I am trying to help my husband find out about his birthparents. In December 1960 he was born at the home and was adopted by a couple who, after a settling in period in rural Derbyshire, took him to Burma( Myanmar )as that was where their life was based. His name was changed by the couple who adopted him. A few years ago I did find out a bit about the home itself. In recent years, my husband has decided that he wants to know more about where he came from as he has felt it keenly affects his sense of who he is. With a coup taking place in 1962 in Burma, the family returned to the UK. If anyone has ideas or guidance about how I should begin my search, I would be so grateful.  Thank you, Yvonne

Thank you. I read through the long running thread from 2009 onwards, but I posted my reply on the shorter thread as the dates of entries seemed to be more recent. I have just searched and tried to find concise info on how to start with a brand new post as suggested by  the first reply I have had and I cannot make out how to do this. I am supposed to find the forum index?  What should I do? Copy and paste my query on to the 2009 ongoing thread or try to start a new thread?
