The Advice Line is able to offer advice and signposting for adopted adults seeking further information where their adoption has had an international element. There is no charge for this service. For further information, please contact the Advice Line.
The Coram IAC advisors are qualified and experienced Social Work Practitioners and/or Counsellors and the agency adheres to strict codes of conduct with regard to confidentiality and record keeping. Confidentiality will be maintained in all cases except in the event of concerns about a child's welfare, where it cannot be guaranteed.

The group is for any adoptee whose adoption has an international aspect and which supports adoptees who are actively searching for family members as well as adoptees who are searching for themselves.
