Hi Alan, perhaps I was just very very lucky, I looked on different missing persons web sites, and left messages, and found a message from my adopted son, he was looking for me his birth mother, and I was looking for my son. Jean Subject: Re: [DOR] Finding my birth father Graham White Luisa, There are other ways of finding birth parents. If you contact me offline (i.e. to this email address) I can send you some details. I went through a very similar experience to yours some years ago. Alan
