that my mother who is now 87 gave up a child for adoption. a little girl.
is it possible for me to find her, i have her name date of birth and where she was born how can i find her.i would be glad of any help .

Your local authority may be able to help, or possibly the local town hall as it holds information on everyone...

Strange but the Salvation Army helped a friend of mine they do charge but might be worth getting intouch with them with all the details you have. From what I was told they get intouch with the person your searching for and let them know your looking for them. Then its up to them to get in touch with you.

Hope this helps:)

Think long and hard before you do anything. Not all re-unions have a happy ending. :mad:

The sibling is the rejected party, is it not only fair that you facilitate any search they may choose to make? It may not work out, but you've at least had the luxury of growing up within your own family.

(I hope that doesn't all sound too harsh, it wasn't meant to)

there is a national organisation who helps put people in touch. They provide councilling before hand to help people prepare for the worst...as someone has pointed out not all reuninions are happy ones.

If your sister has never been told she was adopted for example, you turning upon her doorstep may come as a bit of a shock!

There are lots of links on the dfes website. If your mum can remember which adoption agency was used it may be listed here. Lots of them provide support following adoptions. I don't disagree with the comments already made and, for what its worth...I think you should try looking if only to stop you thinking...'if only'.

Good Luck!
