Searching for adopted child?
Hi! I’m not sure what country you are living in so things may be done differently if your’re not living in the Uk like me. I’m adopted and got in touch with my biological mother 5 years ago. The way I did it was to contact the agency I was adopted through (in my case, Adopt Anglia) they were really helpful and were able to assist in me making contact. From the way I understand it I don’t think at that point there was much a biological parent could do to contact their child except for join an adoption register. This is where they complete their own details and as much as they know about their child and if the child decides to locate them and he/she looks on the register then the details will already be there. However, your friend needs to remember that 1. Her son may be blissfully unaware that he is adopted. 2. He may not want to have contact with her.
You should tell your friend that her son may have already put his name and information in the database from the agency hoping that she would be looking for him. Adopted children are always wanting to connect with there biological parents, but have the fear of rejection and with her information out there, it shows she will be a positive response. Good luck.
Well, I would first suggest trying to locate the adoption center, she should at least be able to get the name of the folks that adopted him, it can be really hard to find a person like this. She can put up ads on the internet, such as searching for a boy born on ?/?/?? at this location…and such and see if there are any hits on it like that, or she can contact any local adoption agency and ask them what she might be able to do, or what steps she needs to take, also, as a last resort, she could hire a private detective.
