They’ve just reported on TV that all of the adoption register records have been removed from Scotlands People. Despite the fact that their BMD records have date limits to protect privacy, apparently about 2 years ago they had released all of the adoption register right up to last year! An adopting parent pointed out that her child was thereby put at risk….
Hopefully the older records will be returned when they get sorted out. Apparently the earlier ones in the register are from around the 1910s.
