Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any information on the adoption process in 1912, more specifically who could have been involved and who would have arranged it?
This is in relation to my grandmother who was adopted at some point between 1912/3. She was born in Hull in November 1912 and baptised December 1912 at her local church. Her birth mother was unmarried and born in Dublin - she was still there at the 1911 Census. Although there was a link to Hull through her uncle, (who had been born there) there were no known close family connections and none known between her adoptive parents, who were from Barton upon Humber. The same address is given on my grandmother’s birth & baptism certificate so her birth mother obviously stayed around for a while- she later emigrated to America in May 1913.
