In the 1960s adoption in England was still a private matter. Babies were passed over garden fences between relations or if you were the 'right sort' you could pay for a child.
Yes, it has been very, very good. I've also been able to reunite with my Father (who firmly believes he is going to hell for his deeds, unfortunately), I'm sorry you weren't able to meet yours.
Very interesting. I was adopted through Holman Richards in 1967/68.
Do you know the Adult Adoptee Movement? They have been doing a lot of work on HR
Not really, but I reconnected with my Mother 30+ years ago through Mrs. Dent at Holman Richards.
Ha! Me too. Hope it has been a happy journey
