Long story short, my biological father split from my mum shortly after I was born and there’s been no contact since. I’ve thought about trying to trace him a few times over the years but it’s never been the right time. However he’d now be approaching his 70s (if he’s still alive) so it feels like now or never.
I know very little about him apart from his name (which unfortunately is not unusual), rough age and where he grew up. I’ve tried the various DNA match services but no joy and I don’t really know where else to try.
Has anyone been in this situation & might have some advice? I’m well aware that he might not be open to this and I might not like what I find, but I’m prepared. As a side note my biological mum is still alive but knows about as much as me.
