These Regulations make provision under section 98 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (“the Act”) for the purposes of assisting persons adopted before 30 December 2005 to obtain information about their adoption and to facilitate contact between those persons and their birth relatives through an intermediary service. The regime for disclosure of information about adoptions after 30 December 2005 is set out in sections 56 to 65 of the Act. An adoption agency dealing merely with a request for information about an adoption for which it was the adoption agency involved will continue to deal with it under the Adoption Agencies Regulations 1983.
