Ariel Bruce is a Registered Independent Social Worker
who has worked since 1985 for people who have been affected by adoption
and who wish to trace a birth relation. She also works for others
who have become separated from a family member by circumstances
such as divorce or emigration. Ariel also works for people wanting
to trace long-lost friends.
Based in London and Southsea, Ariel Bruce carries
out extensive work in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, as well
as in many countries worldwide, including the USA and Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa.
Ariel not only undertakes to trace missing people but also is experienced
in making contact with those found. Many traced people are initially
shocked and may need as much support as the instigators of the search.
Although there can be no guarantee of success, most searches do
result in tracing the person sought. On some occasions, searches
also result in forging enduring new relationships.
Ariel Bruce handles each case individually, working in strict confidence
with her client. Everything is conducted with the utmost discretion
and with the greatest regard to confidentiality for both the client
and the missing family member or friends.
Of course, not every search is straightforward and some can take
a frustratingly long time. It is possible that the missing person
may feel that they do not want to be found. In a delicate situation
like this, direct contact between the searcher and the person sought
can be difficult. Acting as an intermediary, Ariel Bruce offers
support both to her client and to the person being traced. Ariel
Bruce regards this support as being of the utmost importance in
ensuring that neither feels party feels exposed or intimidated by
the situation. Ariel is always available to listen, whether or not
the search is successful.
Among those agencies and organisations which give out Ariel Bruce's
details are: British Agencies for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF);
The Post Adoption Centre, London; The American Embassy; the South
African Embassy and the Australian Embassy in London; The Adoption
Resource Centre, Sydney, Australia.
If you are an individual wanting to trace a missing family member
or friend, or an organisation asked to deal with such situations,
and you feel that Ariel Bruce may be able to help, then please write,
telephone or email.
When working with clients who live outside the UK, Ariel Bruce
will stay in contact by telephone and email. However, with an office
in London and also in Southsea she divides her time between the
two places and is usually available to see clients at either location.
