How to Find an Adopted Sibling & What to Consider

flowerHow to Find an Adopted Sibling

My name is David Oates, I am the Head Researcher at Relative Connections, you can view my LinkedIn by clicking here. I’m the director of the adoption support agency which is regulated by Ofsted.  I’ve spoken about finding long lost family on BBC Radio 5 and was part of the featured team on BBC1’s Family Finders TV series.

Families that stay together forever are sadly not as common as they used to be, with over 50% of all marriages resulting in divorce. As well as affecting the adults in this kind of situation, the children involved are also greatly impacted with siblings, half siblings  and adopted siblings losing touch with each other as part of what can be an extremely painful and drawn-out affair.

While children most often don’t have any say in the break up of the family unit, they are still emotionally impacted by being torn away from their brothers and sisters. Naturally, siblings will often seek each other out later in life, which can be a tricky thing to do and when someone tries to find an adopted sibling , getting a successful result gets even harder still.

Finding the Right Help

People naturally want to get in contact with lost brothers and sisters, evidenced by the fact that sibling searches are one of our most popular services. However, when the sibling in question is adopted into the family, it can make the job of finding them quite a bit more complicated than it otherwise would be with biological siblings.

The trouble faced by anyone trying to find an adopted sibling  is that there are complicated laws that exist in this country and abroad to protect everyone involved in the adoption process. This means that even with a name and date of birth, searches made by companies claiming to be able to help in this regard will often end up with no positive result.

Of course, you could try contacting the adoption agency or check the adoption register yourself, which can, on occasion, prove successful. Unfortunately, though, you only have to check a few adopted sibling forum boards to see that it’s an approach that regularly winds up in disappointment. That can all change, however, when you have specialist help on your side.
