I don't know my Dad and half me wants to know who he is and the other half doesn't. This feeling comes and goes. I've tried searching for him but I can't find anything and yet can't afford and don't believe I should pay for someone to track him down when he hasn't bothered. It's a really hard story to tell but he did know about me and he did want custody of me, eventually he was stopped from seeing me. But still he has had plenty of years to find me. Although this feeling of just knowing whether he is still alive or not may help. Can anybody help?

I not only can help, it is possible that I can find him through one of my resources.

How old are you? When was the last time you heard from/had contact with him?

I'm 23, court cases were held over my custody around 1990 I believe. He would be slightly younger than 56 and was living in Birmingham in 1989. Hope you can help as today Ive decided I want to find him, and there seems to be no help out there at all.

Are you comfortable posting the info you have? Age, date of birth, LEGAL name (I recently searched for literally hours and then found out I had been given a nickname, which made my work useless), ID'ing info?

My concern is your statement "{I can't} find anything and yet can't afford and don't believe i should pay for someone to track him down when he hasn't bothered." If your interest in this is somehow getting back at him, accusing him, causing a problem for him, I'm not interested.
