As has been said before Boys don't tend to look for their birth parents until they marry or have children of their own, or even until after their adoptive parents have died. You could leave a letter with the adoption agency to say that you would like contact. Register with NORCAP. Visit websites lookupuk(.) com or missing-you(.)net and search and/or leave a message. Put yourself on friends reunited as he'll have your birth name and will probably have a look see, so make sure he can recognise your name from perhaps several with the same name. Of course don't forget genes connected - add him onto your family tree. Recently a friend found someone looking up her daughter who was adopted - turned out to be adoptive parents seeking information for when the child wanted to know.
