A site about access to origins in adoption.

For people who were adopted, for those who placed a child for adoption, for those who adopted. The same page, the same sources, the same tone.

Where two rivers meet, neither stops existing.

Country pages that bring together, on one page, what official sources say about who keeps the records, who may ask, from what age, and where to apply.

How we read sources

Primary official sources only: published laws, central authorities and public-service pages. We do not interpret. When two official sources disagree, we show both. Every page shows the date it was checked.
