OK - that is interesting, had no idea that was possible. By the way, I have sent a message to David in case he is unsure of how to get back here.

My sister had her first baby out of wedlock, and when she later married, the father of her first baby had to sign an adoption cert for baby's stepdad to adopt her.

I'm no expert, but it seems a bit strange that he was involved in consent unless married to your mother - you give no details of her. I thought fathers had no say if unmarried- but could be wrong!

You're going to need more information about him to trace him. Were your birth parents married? Does Edward have a middle name? Any idea how old he'd be and know any other members of his family?
