I would love to know he had a good home and is till alive and well. Please reply privately to me if you have any knowledge of what happened to Leslie. Thank you, Fiona

You could try registering with the government adoption service and then if he came looking or had registered you should be contacted. Good luck

	Not in any GR trees What was your mother’s name - is she in any GR trees other than yours?
