JIGSAW

Jigsaw is managed by a volunteer committee, most of whom are directly involved in adoption. We employ a professionally qualified manager/counsellor to provide most client services. All our staff has long term experience in adoption or separation issues, some are personally involved. We are fortunate and grateful to have the assistance of volunteers to help with search and various administrative tasks... Jigsaw is a not for profit agency. We are financed by government grants, fees charged and donations. We have Preferred Service Provider Status... Adoption Jigsaw was founded in 1978 by adopted adults, birth parents and adoptive parents for the purpose of lobbying for legislative change and more openness in adoption. Some changes came about in 1987, when adopted people were given the right to access records giving information about their birth parents, and in 1994 when birth parents were given similar rights regarding their children. Further changes were proclaimed in June 2003.
