Member Since: February 2013 Posts: 2 Send Message	Hi all, I was adopted as a baby (1947) and have the usual Adoption Register birth certificate. All it tells me is that the adoption went through Barking Juvenile Court. How would I begin to trace the name of my natural parents ? Appreciate any help, David Ruckert

	Hi David. You should be able to access your adoption records, including full birth cert. This site has a lot of useful info, or you could contact social services dept for advice: https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register Good luck! Jan
