At Birthlink, our aim is to enhance the well-being and promote the welfare of all people affected by adoption 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.

Birthlink is committed to listening, hearing, and supporting all those affected by forced ado

This event marks our 40th Anniversary of the Adoption Contact Register and we need your support to enable us to support others.
