Story

Thank you for supporting our Kiltwalk event. 2024 marks the 40th Anniversary of our Adoption Contact Register.

Our aim is to enhance the well-being and promote the welfare of all people affected by adoption with a Scottish connection.

The Adoption Contact Register, operated by Birthlink, invites adopted people, birth parents, adoptive relatives and other birth relatives to register their details in the hope that there will be a link allowing future contact.

The Adoption Contact Register for Scotland is a tried and tested means for those separated by adoption to express a mutual wish to be in touch with one another. It is also a route by which many questions can be answered and reassurances given.

As a charity we rely on the support of those who value our work, from service users, friends and members to the general public.

RCN SC013007
Birthlink is a small Scottish charity, based in Edinburgh. We offer support and advice to adopted adults, birthparents, adoptive parents, birth families and other professionals in relation to adoptions with a Scottish connection. Birthlink established the Adoption Contact Register for Scotland in 1984. This enables birth parents, adopted people and their relatives to place their names on the register with the potential of finding a match with an adopted person or family member who is also seeking to be reunited. We offer a free professional mediation service to families who wish to reconnect. We operate an After Adoption Information Line which is open to professionals and the public for advice and support relating to any matter relating to adoption. As a charity we rely on the support of those who value our work, from service users, friends and members to the general public. Your donation will help us to continue and expand our services to adults and families affected by adoption. Thank you so much for your support.
