PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH
Adoption Support can assist
you at every stage in your search for your family members. We offer advice from our experienced workers,
a helpful
guide to the process of tracing, as well as comprehensive research
and tracing services. We can also act as an intermediary once your
family members have been found.
ADOPTED ADULTS

Adopted adults
have the right to conduct their own research to trace
relatives and Adoption Support can provide advice and support to
adopted adults to help in their research.

We offer our

date information and advice on how to go about the process of
tracing a relative, including;
-
Using birth, marriage and death indexes
-
Ordering certificates
-
Reference checking
-
Sources for obtaining current addresses
-
Electoral registers
-
Internet resource
-
All the information you need to evidence your search so that we
may act as your intermediary
A copy of the guide can be purchased by
calling our helpline.
Adopted adults also have the
option of using our specialist research service to locate a
relative (see below).
BIRTH RELATIVES
 |
Birth relatives
wishing to trace family members are not able to carry out
research themselves. Consequently, Adoption Support provides
a specialist research service for birth relatives looking to
locate a family member (see below). |
RESEARCH SERVICE
 |
Our full research service
enables both adopted adults and birth relatives to have Adoption
Support's dedicated researcher undertake the work of tracing a
relative for them. Our experienced researcher uses many up to
the minute tools and techniques to gather the necessary
information and has an extremely high success rate in locating
people. |
