I am looking for my Older Brother, who my Mum had to give up for adoption, he was born November 23rd 1969, and called David Jonathon Simpson, we know that the family that adopted him dropped the David and called him Jonathon, but don't know the surname. Only other details my Mum knows are that his adoptive Mother was a nurse and his adoptive Father was Ex-RAF and becoming a teacher. My mum's family are from Wales.

You will need to add yourself to the national adoption contact register, and hope that your relation has done the same.

If he is aware that he was adopted, and has any interest in finding birth family , he may well have done so.

Also, if he's looking for connections, he may have a tree on here which will be in his birth name. Have a look

ADDED

I just did, and I think you may be in luck.

Send a very carefully-worded message to him. You can't know it's the right person until you get some feedback, so bear that in mind

Hope you get a result

Thank you for the assist Jacqueline, It'll be nice to get in touch with him as I've never met him. It'll be great for my Mum too.
