Adoption Records Under United Kingdom law, anyone who was adopted before 1975 must have an interview with a counsellor before being allowed to receive any information about his or her original birth records. In the first instance, people wishing to trace their original parents should write to the General Register Office (CA Section), PO Box 7, Titchfield, Fareham, Hampshire PO15 5RU, which will send general information, including alternative locations, as to where counselling can take place.
