Hi Marion.
I just went back to this post, are there any details that you can reveal without compromising Pauls details?

Re: Looking for Birth Father
There have been a number of children in various countries who will never find their birth father, most of us were very careful about that.
But my brother, who never went to sea got caught out, to make matters worse she only lived just around the next street, but he was not the sharpest knife in the box even though I love him dearly.

Re: Looking for Birth Father
#21, The Robert Moffatt I found Des is still living! However there are certain deliberate discrepancies in the information that the birth father left with officials at the time of Paul's birth which has caused confusion and virtually no paper trail. A case of not wanting to be found I suspect. Not my place to say anymore than that at present as it is still ongoing and would be at Paul's discretion if he wants to divulge up to this point.
