	Hi Deborah, The first thing you need is to access your original birth certificate and adoption file - there should be some background as to why you were placed for adoption, sometimes the fathers name (if known) is contained within the file. This can be accessed free by filling in the application form available here: https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/accessing-your-birth-records Good luck!

	Presumably you have been adivsed to add your name and that of your other birth relatives to the adoption contact register. Have you done that? https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register Another site is http://www.missing-you.net/ If you were thinking of tracing your ancestors, then at least you can get details about your mother's side and then work further back. You may even find some maternal aunts/uncles or cousins if she has siblings.

Member Since: August 2003 Posts: 13 Send Message	Hi Yes my mother was unmarried at the time. I have asked woolwich court and there is no info on my adoption file. I have tried all options and have been searching for years, my hope is that someone might be looking for me. Thank you Deborah

	Looks as though your mother wasn't married at the time as her maiden name is also Pratt. Rose
