Hi Jess, Glad to see your back on board:O) hope all' well with you, sorry I do not reply before been out for the day, Bev, Will the Social Worker recommend that they trace <our sister themselves, and will they charge you? I am also curious when our adoption agency offered to help us no charge was metioned however, I have heard talk of them charging a fee now. Catherine Your sisters name would be registered under he birth name (if your mothers was single her Maiden name) you could still try contacting Social Services to see if they can trace which agency handled the adotpion and see if they would be prepared to help at all. and the very least leave a letter with her file telling her you would welcome contact with her. also try posting messages on the followign sites. www.myfolks(.)com www.lookupuk(.)com www.missing-you(.net) Glen, Glad to see things worked out Ok for you in work, you drive safely and catch up with us all at the weekend. Sheila |

Evening all, just before Christmas and from talking to my Mum, I was able to find a social woker who had access to my adopted sisters files. I gave her marriage and birth certificates to prove my relationship with the adoptee and as we weren't living in the same area, she contacted a social worker on my behalf of my local council. Yesterday, I called to social worker of my local council and she was able to advise me that the case had already been referred to an assigned agency who were professionals at working on adoption cases and would be able to provide us with pre-counselling. She said that the agency would contact her to see if she wanted contact with us and then they would liase for us. Fingers crossed, I do know that she had never sought access to her file so she may not even know that we exist, do you think that it is likely that she would know that she was adopted? She would be about 36 now, I am not sure where she would be living but I do have her birth name and what court dealt with the adoption. I have added her name to my tree so she would be able to do a search on this website. I will keep you all posted! Bev |

Sorry Jess, I didn't answer your question, the social worker did say that there would be a charge but she is sending me literature through the post. Bev |

Hi anyone who can please help me ..I have put my story re my adopted sister who slipped in and out of my life in a blink of an eye on the trying to find thread , I was signposted here and i feel more at ease in this thread , Her birth name was joanne carmichael , born in liverpool on 13.07.1979 at mill rd hospital . she also shares my birthday which reinforces the loss year after year . I only hope someone , somewhere can illuminate my world with any information that fits . equally if she doesnt want contact i respect her anonymity . thankyou ...pauline |
