I am sad to read abot the problems that you are having with Barnardos in the UK.
I was adopted through International Social Services and Barnardos Hongkong to a family in the UK. I was given exstensive documentation about my birth parents and my blood grandparents as well as background informaation and the circumstances of why they had to give me away. The bulk of the information was saved and passed on to my parents by Barnardos Hong Kong. What is so shocking reading your posts is that i was adopted in 1967 and my parents were given all this information at that time.
I hope that my story will inable you to ask Barnardos UK why they are behaving so strangley, Barnardos is the same organization all over the world its just the location that is different.
As for the mumbo jumbo about policies and whats best. Here are some points as an adoptee
1) I have had a full and loving life
2) I am a product of an "interracial adoption"and have intergrated well.
3) the information i have got has saved me a lot of heartach and endless searching for my birth parents.
4) The treatment and information given to my parents has helped me no end and my parents celebrate not only my life, their lives withme, my familie as well as my birth parents. in other words for all those concerned we have the best of both worlds.
Goodluck keep me posted as i proberbly still have the mames of the people who helped my parents at Barnardos Hongkong.
