From what I have read, this is probably a longshot... but I have to ask. My wife does not remember the last name of her son's (my stepson) biological father. My stepson is 19. I have a photo taken 20 yrs ago of the father, I have a first name, and an approximate geographic location (the area of a county that he lived in). I know his age. My wife knows that her son needs to at least know the name of his real father, I'm just not sure I have enough information to even start a search. Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

Last names are the basic start. First names only after first. Any address?

Did your wife and the bio-dad ever date? Did other people know about the two being together and might remember his name?

Why does the child need to know his name. The child just needs to know the truth. A child has no "right" to know.

ma0641.....It's all pretty sketchy... I know first name, possible last name and general vicinity but no specific address.

wondergirl.....thanks for the idea! I am going to try to locate a friend of hers that would have been familiar with the bio-dad. Thank you!

Fr Chuck....he already knows the truth. He would just like to know the man's name....I don't see anything wrong with that.
