Adoptees-UKIE  (UK and Republic of Ireland Adoptees mailing list)
Adoptees-UKIE set up 1997 by 3 adoptees with a UK connection  is to help adoptees & birth-parents living or searching in the UK & Ireland; also so they could exchange ideas, etc. Everything is on a voluntary basis, the 3 founders sharing the initial costs. Confidentiality within the group & courtesy towards other members is essential, so you need not fear that any secret will be divulged without your consent. Only members can submit postings so no worries about receiving unsolicited mail. Subscribing anonymously, means you are known only to the computer & the two people with administration rights to the mailing list. FAQs & a 'useful information' document for UK & Eire searches are periodically issued; a UK search guide is being prepared. The list administrator also has useful documents & forms members can request. Several successful reunions have already taken place. To join, email  (listserv@listserver.pipemedia.net) including in your email 'subscribe adoptees-ukie' followed by your preferred name; or email howardw.maygate@pipemedia.co.uk asking to be added to the list. We also have a temporary web page at www.adoptees.org.uk  Yours in fellowship, Howard,  Unitarian & Adoptee      Searching for truth & Keith Clark (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
