I am a UK Birth
Parent
More information on what to do if
you gave up a child for Adoption in the UK.
Unfortunately, under British law, it appears to be illegal to try and make
contact with an adopted child until they turn 18.
I am in need of more detailed information regarding these laws, if you
can help clarify some details, please Email
Me
Once your adopted child has turned 18, you should apply to the Adoption
Registries, who can be
contacted as follows:
