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 research guide, a pack which contains helpful, relevant and up to 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.
