For many adoptees, their initial contact when attempting to ascertain information about their own adoption may well be through their own area authority. Thus this post lists all links to local authorities ‘adoption help pages’ that I have been able to find through a basic Google web search.
Wikipedia lists 9 regions in England, which are further broken down into counties and districts. It is from the county authorities that I have strived to glean information.
PLEASE NOTE: This post is still in the process of creation as finding the information is not always ‘just’ a ‘simple’ web search. Not only is the information from each authority needed, it is first necessary to establish which area authorities exist.
