How do i find out who my real parents are as i want to know medical background i was adopted in uk?

Perhaps a good start to trace your natural parents would be to check who registered your birth - for that you'd need your full birth certificate.

I'd also try your adoption certificate, if your adoptive parents havent got it they'll know who they adopted you through & thats where you'll find your natural parents names.

The problem you might have is that when you do find who your natural parents are you'll have to contact them to find out about hereditary illnesses but they may not want to know you.

Remeber - your "real" parents are those who brought you up, loved you for your whole life & cared for you - those who gave you life are your "natural" parents. There's quite a difference

Your real parents are the people who raised you. Took care of you, and spent the time to make sure you had all the love and care that you needed.
Your birth parents are the ones you need to seek medical information from

As what Lisa said, check your parent's name in your own birth certificate, firstly. Next, gain much information of your parent detail from the person who raise you untill now. Thirdly, contact any family members and relatives, currently who knows your past to get your parent's identity. Lastly, check into any local birth certificate registration and hospital etc to track your parent.

As an adoptive parent, my first thought is that your "real" parents are those who raised you. I believe you are referring to your "biological" parents. I would attempt contacting the agency who arranged the adoption. They should have the medical information that you are looking for. Most agencies require medical info from the biological parents at the time of the adoption.

my husband contacted the salvation army when he was trying to trace his father.they contacted said person when he was found on my husbands behalf to see if he was willing to meet my husband.sadly he declined but it was his loss he misses out on an exceptional man and his family.

Your real parents are the loving people who gave you a chance in life and love not the people who gave you away, how do you think your real parents will feel knowing you are trying to trace the people that made you (deep down) they will say we dont mind. because they are nice decent people if i was you i would leave alone. and give your mum & dad a big hug and think how your life would have been without them, childrens homes then even prison.

I am angry to see that some people are having a go at you for asking about your real parents! They ARE your real parents! You are entitled to call them that if you wish. I gave up a child for adoption 11 years ago, I was 18 and pretty messed up. I struggled for a year to take care of her, went into a parent and child unit. They were supposed to help but they made things worse. Any way to cut a long story short I have now discovered that I was probably suffering from post-natal depression but very little was known about it then. I should have seen a health visitor or doc but I never did! My point is that there are all sorts of reasons for giving up a child for adoption. I was told if I didn't give her up she was going to be taken anyway! I was convinced by the people that were supposed to be helping me that it was the best thing I could do for her. I'm lucky in as much as I get a letter from her every year on her birthday and photo's. I also am registered with Family Finders. They hold onto my details so that when my daughter decides she wants to meet me she just goes them and they can give her my details. So maybe try them. Good Luck with it x
