I am an adoptee who tried searching many years ago (before computer) for my birth mother. As I am new to computer searches I would like some advice on how to proceed or any help that is available. I know the following. |

First of all let me thank you all for your replies. I put my name on the Adoption Contact Register in 1994. I am assuming this is the same register. I have my original birth certificate showing my birth mother's name and address. At that time the agency helping me search purchased a birth certificate dated 1926 of someone they thought could be my birth mother and I believe purchased other certificates to no avail. The last thing I tried at that time was an advertisement in a local paper with no response. I realize that my birth mother if she is still living would be in her late 80's but I would like to contact her if she is still alive and willing to be contacted. If not I would like to have some information on my birth family history. While I had a wonderful adoptive family there has always been a feeling with me of something missing and with my current family now having two new adoptive grandchildren it has brought these feeling to the surface again. I live in Canada so I am not familiar with the Manchester area so I am not sure which region I should be searching under. Again many thanks for your help. |
