Hi Sheila

I did find the name of my father from the file and mention of several half siblings though after digging around i did discover a few more.

The rough guide to age and place of birth for my birth father helped to track down a half sister. There were a couple of photographs, letters, addresses etc that helped to piece together some information about my mother too and probably lots of other stuff i still haven't taken in even though the file has been here for well over a year.

Hi Tina
GRO adoption section in Southport hold the Adopted Children Register. This register links the original birth name to the adoptive name. So if the SS department burnt down years ago your son's details will be known to GRO.
In 2005 the adoption laws changed and birth family members can apply for contact. However, your son has the final decision if he wishes contact or not.
You can apply to any local council... they may direct you to another agency as often they out source their post adoption work to outside agencies like 'After Adoption'
Check out this web site it will give you more information.

Hope this helps and good luck with your search.
Cheers Gerry

Hi, interestingly the lady (or her family) I'm trying to find has as one of her given names "Macfarlane" does this seem likely that this could be her adopting family or even her birth fathers name?
* I'm trying to find a half sister for my friend she was born on March 10th in Edinburgh 1936 her given names are Janet Macfarlane mothers name Delafield.
