Siolbhan...... This has just happened to me If you write to the Head Office of Barnardos with all the details. Name, age, name of home, and included you telephone number they will either reply to you via phone or write to you to confirm that your relie was one of their children. Once that is done they will sent you a form to fill in The usual fee for information is £30. For this you get the full history & photo's. BARNARDOS. TANNERS LANE, BARKINGSIDE. ILFORD, ESSEX 1G6 1QG. Sorry for the delay in reply it's the boards...grrrr Good luck.
