I tried contacting Kirsty a couple of times already but she hasn't replied yet. Do you have any other suggestions?

Someone called Kirsty has a Mary McFadden born Glasgow in her tree on here.

Have you contacted her?

Thanks Kathleen. I just included his name on it.

You should also put your family tree on here and include Damian so that if he tries looking for his birth family he could possibly find you.

I have checked all member trees and there is no one on Genes who has him in their tree.

Hi Dionne.
If you are sure Damian was adopted, the best thing is to register yourself on the National Adoption Contact Register:
https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register
Also try looking on other members' trees (use search box above), and sites like Facebook.
If Damian is looking for his birth family, he might use these sites in his search.

Hi. My name is Dionne O'Donoghue and I'm from Dublin, Ireland. I found out last year that I have a half-brother called Damian McFadden who was born in Liverpool in 1969 but we don't know his adoptive name, his father's name and date and month of his birth. Our mother's name was Mary Teresa McFadden who was born in Glasgow Scotland in 1943 and she grew up in the Isle of Man. I have one brother called John O'Donoghue who was born in Liverpool too in 1967 and he currently lives in Dublin.

Any help will be appreciated.
