No Rose, just my mothers name and address.
I am not sure what the adoption process would have been like in the 1970's...whether she would have had to have my Bio- fathers permission etc.

Go to this site and follow the instructions:

It is quite a lengthy process, but will bear fruit for you in the end.

Joanne,

Do you have your birth certificate? He might be mentioned on there.

Hi Guys,
I am very new here so hope someone might be able to help... My mother was unmarried at the time of my birth, married my step father when I was one and was adopted by him.She has never told me any info about my bio-father but would like to find info.
Any suggestions on where to start
Many thanks for your time guys
