Birthlink - Adults Affected by Adoption

Birthlink - Adults Affected by Adoption Over 100 Years of Working with Families - Connecting People Worldwide

Birthlink provides an After Adoption Information Line for anyone with questions about after adoption issues. Service users include adopted adults, birth parents of people adopted as children and their family members, adoptive family members, local authority social workers, voluntary adoption agencies and other professionals. The Adoption Contact Register for Scotland was created as part of Birthli

nk’s Adoption Counselling Centre and we also offer services of accessing records, searching and mediation. Our Care Connect service helps adults who were formerly ‘in care’; either growing up in the residential care of a local authority or in a foster family to access information from records. Many of this group have the same issues as adopted adults such as lack of information about their birth parents and family which impacts on their sense of identity. We run two Thrift Shops which bring in much needed cash to help support the day to day running of the organisation. We rely on the support we get from our many volunteers, some of whom help us in the shops and others with their skillful work of searching records which allows us to continue with our work.
