Birthlink’s After Adoption Information Line is an easily accessible point of contact for all those seeking information and advice relating to adoption issues that affect adults.

We are here to help:

  • Adopted adults
  • Birth parents and birth relatives of adopted people
  • Adoptive parents and relatives
  • Professionals engaged in after adoption work

Experienced and qualified staff provide helpful guidance and up-to-the-minute information on a range of questions such as:

  • How do I get a copy of my original birth extract?
  • I don’t know where I was adopted, where can I see my papers?
  • I’ve just found out I’m adopted, can I speak to someone?
  • I’ve just met my birth mother and I need to talk things over?
  • I gave up my son for adoption in 1963, can I find him now?
  • I’ve heard there is a register where you can leave your contact details?
