The Children's Services Team does not have a dedicated adoption
or fostering service. We are, however, able to provide information
and advice about all aspects of adoption and fostering and assist
in referring applicants to relevant agencies.
The British
Association of Adoption and Fostering provides further
information about adoption and fostering.
Adoption and in-care enquiry counselling service
London Metropolitan Archives holds the in-care and adoption
files from the London and Middlesex County County Councils,
covering the period 1926 to 1965. If you were in care or adopted
through either of these organisations you can contact the
LMA enquiry team.
For adoptions in Greater London after 1965 contact the social
services of the relevant London Borough.
