Hi Regarding birth certs after adoption. When my parents seperated, and after their divorce went through, Mum applied to the courts to adopt my brother and self - (even though she is my natural mum), for various reasons. My birth cert now shows all details as before - but just outside the last column shows adopted and is signed by a registrar. Even though both natural parents were still alive. Liz |

Hiya Vicky, it's very harrowing, I know. I was adopted, left in a nursery in Peacehaven at 11 months. I had searched and searched for my parents. In July some kind people on here helped me and I found my mother. I sent her a short note with my phone number. I've still had no reply from her. Last week I found my father. He phoned me straight away, what a difference.He's nearly 73 but he filled me in on the past history and renforced things that my adoptive mother had told me. Yesterday he sent me a photo of himself, I've sent one to him.He wants to come up here to meet. I'm apprehensive to say the least.After 37 years I have a father and it's scary. I wish you the best of luck. I can imagine all you want to do is find some kind of link . I know all I wanted was silly things like who did I look like, where had certain traits come from. Keep looking, help turns up in the most unexpected places and times. Best wishes Tracy |

Tracy I know how you must be feeling, when I found my sister all kinds of things ran through my head, and it has been upseting at times especially for my mum who after all these years had to answer all the questions such as 'why' why and why again. Its no easy task and I wish you and your dad all the love and luck in the world. Maybe he can shed some light on your mother? best wishes Vicky |
