    As you posted your topic originally under my sticky on how to search, I have to ask if you actually read that post and have followed any of the suggestions on it so far?

    While I am not clear on all of the laws surrounding adoption in the UK, I do believe that their adoptions were also closed and locked in the 50s.

    What have you done already in your search?
