Birth relatives contact

You may wish to make contact with your birth relatives and Adoption Connects can help support you with this. 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. 

If you would like intermediary support, get in touch.

“I am so grateful for your support, and I value your efforts greatly. You are someone who never gives up – what a problem solver you are! Even going to court to protect my interests, 65 years after my adoption. Many, many thanks!”
