Born
to be Found is dedicated to helping English/Welsh Birth Parents and Adoptee's
reunite. We offer a wide and competitive range of searches with a
quick response time to ensure that you receive the information you seek
promptly.
In
Dec 2005 the Law changed to allow Birth Parents the right to seek their child.
A
Birth Parent can apply to their local Social Services or Adoption Support
Services to set the wheels in motion. The
Birth Parent will only learn the new name of the Adoptee when the Adoptee
is found and agrees to the release of their details. Before a Case is referred
to a Researcher, Social Services or the Adoption Support Services will check
to make sure that the Adoptee has not placed a veto against beginning
contacted within their file.
In
contrast, Adoptee’s are lawfully able to learn the details of their Birth
Parents names and addresses where such information is found in the public
domain. Adoptee’s seeking their Adoption File or their Birth Family can use
the same Services as Birth Parents.
Adoptee's
are welcome to use the services of Born to be Found. We can work from the
smallest amount of information that you hold.
Our pricing structure is fair in
comparison to many businesses as we strongly believe that everyone should be
able to search at a reasonable cost. It
is stressed that we at Born to be Found are not Counsellors or Mediators. You
may decide to approach your local Social Services or Adoption Support Services
and find that they have no Researcher in place. We will be happy to introduce
ourselves to your chosen Service with a view to covering your research. Once
we have completed your research, and for the best results, please choose an
approach via a qualified Mediator.
We
will be pleased to help find the English Birth Families of
Australia
's Child Migrants.
Australian
Child Migrants are welcome to contact us and we will search for Birth Family
in the same way that we seek Adoptee’s and Birth Parents.
