	Do you mean the ones that gave birth to him are dead, or the ones that raised him?

	If your a birth family member you might like to check this website out. www.adoptionsearchreunion.org.uk It explains the recent law changes and how to apply for contact through an intermediary. Hope this helps. But if this is not what your after you may need to tell us more so we can point you in the right direction :-) Cheers Gerry
