Organisation:ONS - Adopted Children Register 

Comment:

The Adopted Children Register is administered through the General Register Office and maintains a record of adoptions made on the authority of courts in England and Wales. The register allows for the issue of adoption certificates and for access to birth records for adopted people. Approved intermediary agencies acting on behalf of a birth relative can apply for certain information from the register. Created in 1991, the Adoption Contact Register exists to put adopted people and birth relatives in touch with each other if that is what they both wish.
