This should really have been posted on Findliving relatives, or for you to have added to any previous thread.

Only social services will know their post adoption names. You should register with Birthlink if you haven't already

Make sure their birth names are on your tree and regular check for listings on other peoples trees. Also make sure you have added their parents to yours as that is who they'd look for.

Please - don't start a new thread every time. Just add to one of the existing ones. That will bring them to the front page of the boards again.
