The Salvation Army specialise finding in lost relatives. Not many people know this. Give them a go, they are supposed to be quite good. Google them.

i have been to these but cus he was adopted they said they might not beable to help has he has a new life ... if he was only fostered and not adopted it would be alot easyer to find him but cus he has a new family and stuff its harder ... i could try again .
