So sad (re Forgotten Mothers)
Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:22:10 +0000
Isn't it sad when a group seems to lose all power of self expression and
starts to rely all most entirely on illegally copying other's copyright
material without proper acknowledgment to express their opinions. I can not
see one post of any real substance, on one group, that does not rely on
direct copying or ...

Trackers International / Forgotten Mothers
Sat, 10 Mar 2007 17:31:08 +0000
I was born in September 1953 and adopted in May 1956. When I was 6 my
adoptive mother became ill with breast cancer, she died about month after my
7th birthday. From the age of six and half years I was brought up almost
entirely by my adoptive father. He never remarried, as far I know he was not
gay, I know ...

Legal question
Wed, 14 Feb 2007 09:23:08 +0000
I'm including alt.adoption in this coz you never know it just might have
another English or Welsh viewer and the search engine coverage is better.
Have any of you enlisted legal help with regard to access to record / files
under either the adoption acts or the data protection / freedom of

Triad, does anyone else find the word inappropriate?
Sat, 30 Dec 2006 09:56:17 +0000
Hi All
I first aired this on the Norcap Forum, because they seem find it difficult
to get beyond the triad concept of adoption even to the point of using the
impossible triangle illusion as their corporate logo.
I've always disliked the use of the words triad and triangle in adoption,
which invariably ...

Affiliation proceedings
Wed, 27 Dec 2006 20:57:00 +0000
Season's Greetings and a Great 2007 to all.
Funny question at Christmas time I know, but who knows someone may have the
answer.
I wonder if anyone here has any experience of getting access to records of
court affiliation proceedings against putative fathers (in England & Wales)
from the pre 1960 era and h ...

Mother's benefits
Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:36:45 +0000
Yes the apostrophe is in the right place, my mother's benefits
Did you know the average weekly wage in 1953 was just over ¡ê9? My mother
received ¡ê3/12/6d N.A.B benefit + 8/- Family Allowance. Her rent for a small
ill furnished un-heated room in a rooming house was ¡ê2/12/6d (said to
include breakfast), l ...

Natural fathers
Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:24:13 +0000
Are there any natural fathers out there looking in here?
If there are, I'd be really interested to hear your perspective on the
whole search and reunion thing. Have you been found?
What would you think to the prospect of being found particularly after a
good many years have passed by?
