A birth parent has to register the birth of a child, regardless of their intention to keep it or not. They usually name i, although you might find just ''Boy'' Jones, for instance.

The adoption is then listed on the Adoption register, but after the legal process, which can be any time after, usually about 6 months, but can be much longer after( rarely shorter).

Of course if it wa pre 1927 or not a legal adoption there will be no registation at all.

You can order it - you need the ref, from the indexes
