Reconnect with birth relatives through adoption support

If you wish to make contact with your birth relatives, we can assist you to trace your birth relatives and act as an intermediary.

If you have traced a birth relative and would like us to help you contact them, you can also ask for support. We will write to them on your behalf and ask them to make contact with us. 

You can request intermediary support through our contact form. If you would prefer, you can also give us a call on 0300 300 8090.
