Birthlink is a small Scottish charity based in Edinburgh, whose origins date back to 1911 where it’s aim was to protect vulnerable women and girls.

We offer support and advice to adopted adults, birthparents, adoptive parents, birth families and other professionals in relation to adoptions with a Scottish connection. Birthlink established the Adoption Contact Register for Scotland in 1984. This enables birth parents, adopted people and their relatives to place their names on the register with the potential of finding a match with an adopted person or family member who is also seeking to be reunited. https://birthlink.org.uk/about-us/

Birthlink also offers other services, the After Adoption Information Line, Redress Support Services, Accessing records, Search Services, Counselling Service, Mediation Service and DNA Services. Do refer to https://birthlink.org.uk/services/ for more information.

Your donation will help us to continue and expand our services to adults and families affected by adoption. Thank you so much for your support.
