Hi Patricia, please remove your e-mail address otherwise your post may be deleted - it's against GR rules. Robert only made 1 post, so unlikely to be an active member.

As it's 5 years since Robert posted, click on his name and send a private message and if he still has the same e-mail address he will receive a message from GR to alert him to your message. Or try the e-mail address he has posted.

Not sure of Scotland's records, but in England there is the adoption contact register and if he was looking for birth family may have registered on such a site. It may be worth you looking for a similar site in Scotland.

Hope you manage to find him, good luck in your search.
