Grateful to Bernie Allen for highlighting the need for adopted adults to access their genetic medical histories. Delays and barriers to accessing this remain far too common, and for adoptees and their children, the consequences can be life or death. #AdopteeVoices #RightToKnow








Interview call-out: ⚠️ Adoptees ⚠️ As part of my current investigation, I’m looking to understand the issues around having your NHS number made void & changed when you’re adopted; in particular, what this means for your genetic medical history. 🧬 📧: [email protected]
