You don’t say how much, if any, information you already have, or how old you or your siblings are. You have to be over the age of 18 before any agencies like social services will do anything to help you.

If you have any information about the adoption agency that arranged your own adoption you could contact them; they may be same agency that was used for your brother and sister and so they may have some valuable information that will help.
If your brother and sister are over the age of 21, then social services will not have any up-to-date information regarding where they might be, but they should be able to tell you the last piece of information that they have.

You can also apply to the UK birth adoption register so that you can be listed as wanting contact with them if they make inquiries about you. You may find that they have already registered for when you are looking for them. You can stipulate who you want contact from so you can make certain that your birth mother will not be able to know anything about you, just your brother and sister.

If you do decide to register, you will find that you will have to have an interview with a social worker who will try and prepare you for what to expect; not just the procedure but the emotional roller coaster you might be about to embark on.

Do you know anything about your other siblings? If they are adults, they may be able to give you some information without involving your birth mother at all.

I am looking for a family member that was adopted when she was approximately 9 months old. She was born on September 28, 1986 in Cleveland, Mississippi. She may have been adopted either in Arkansas or Alabama. I have been searching for a long time and I'm not getting any results. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how I should proceed.

Hi my name is Justin I'm 25. I have one blood relative on this earth which would be my brother. My adoptive parents split us up and he was adopted by someone else. They got a divorce when i was in high school and lost the address and phone number of my brother. The adoption agency refused to give me the info and i went back a year or two ago and they were closed down. NYC area Any help please would be nice. I feel helpless and like life is pointless i stopped really caring about everything in general once they lost his address.

My name is Christina Pozsonyi, my father Frank, or Ferenc Pozsonyi, had an affair with my mother's bestfriend Eva Jung fifteen to twenty years ago. They had a child together, a son, and gave him up for adoption. I'm now looking for him, but don't know how to find him. I was devestated and happy when I found out about having a brother, but now all I want to do is find him so we can be a part of eachother's lives. Help!

I am 22yrs old and was adopted when I was 5years old.  Before this I was in foster care for 3 years.  Last November I found and met my birth mother.  I was the 3rd of 4 kids of whom all were adopted.  My brother and 1 of my sisters and I were adopted by one family and our older sister was adopted by another.  My mother would love to know where our sister is and I want so much to meet her as well.  I don't know how to even go about looking for my older sister and I don't want to ask my mom anything because I'd like this to be a surprise for her.  I need help.  Someone please help me find my sister.

My best friend is looking for her 3 brothers and sister - all biological and all adopted together (we think). Their birth moms name is marie. The adoption was done in california. She was adopted seperately because she was not born yet I don't think when the adoption took place.   I have been trying to figure out how to start the looking process but I have not come up with much of anything that will help her.

I am also looking for my siblings. My Mom had 5 children as well. Not that I am thinking that I am your sibling, but I was wondering how it worked out for you and if you have found them?

Your only chance in the above situation is getting all and the correct information from your parents. You can ask them all about the adoption process like, Where were they living at that time, who were the adopters, whether they gave the kids to an institution, a couple or a couple through an institution etc. Then you can try to find that couple or that institution. Only complete information from your parents can help you find your siblings.
