You can't find who adopted him. He might be looking for his birth family however.
From what I have learnt on here, there are a few things you can do.

Firstly, look for him using his birth name on this site (use 'search trees' above), Friends Reunited and Facebook. If he is searching for birth family he will use this name.

Secondly, contact NORCAP for advice:

www.norcap.org.uk


You might also consider asking social services for advice too.

And put your name on the contact register - just google 'adoption contact register' and you will see the government site come up.

Best of luck to you Francis.

Searchline specialises in searching for, finding and reuniting lost relatives, especially those separated by adoption.
