I want to try and found my son. He was adopted in 1984 and I don't know how to start, where to begin.

Please advise.

Karen I think under the new legislation in England you can go to a
regiustered agency and they will contact your son for you. I must admit I
am not 100 percent sure that this is the case but if you contact NORCAP they
would have further details I'm sure.
NORCAP,
112 Church Road,
Wheatley,
Oxfordshire
0X33 1LU

Phone 01865875000

(I hope I'm allowed to do this)

Umm...81.104.237.46 is the IP you sent your message from that is NTL
Infrastructure - Renfrew, which suggests you might be in Scotland. Things
are different in Scotland from England and Wales.


Have a look at BAAF's website on the subject,

But If you are in Scotland have a look Birthlink's website
