Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	I am trying to find my half brother Geoffrey Chapman who was born 15/07/1958. He was given up for adoption on or before 16/07/1959 at Bristol County Court. I only found out about him when our mother died in 1993. I tried to find out his new name by calling the court in Bristol but they told me I would have to wait until 70 years after the adoption before I could have the files opened.
