Aims: Established in 1982 NORCAP was formed to help adults affected by adoption and to reduce distress and anxiety.

We do this by:
Giving information, support and advice to members about adoption, its impact, and search and reunion.
Operating a register which may link people separated by adoption who want to be put in touch with each other.
Offering a skilled intermediary service to facilitate reunions and provide ongoing support.
Running a network of trained volunteers who provide local support to members.
Providing a telephone helpline each weekday.
Giving expert advice and information on searching for relatives separated by adoption.
Providing local support groups for members.
Giving specialist advice and support to adults abandoned as babies.
