- Do you need help understanding who you are and want to know more about your past?
- Has adoption affected your life?
- Would you like to meet up with relatives lost through adoption?
AAA–NORCAP was established in 1982 with the express aim of supporting adults affected by adoption and particularly their wish to find out more about their families. The Contact Register started shortly afterwards - then the first and currently the largest in the UK - as a means of achieving such reunions.
As at August 2008 the Register holds the details of 63,070 people affected by adoption and seeking information about their relatives. Every year details of another 2,000 people are added. As a consequence of links being established on the register 1,104 adults affected by adoption have been reunited.
