My name is Janne Berlie and I am a 42 y.o. woman, half Scottish, half Norwegian, living in Oslo, and I am desperately hoping to find my half-brother. He is my Scottish father’s son, he was born in Scotland, in Ayrshire (Prestwick town, I think) and was adopted, possibly to a family in the States, when my father was 18 or 19 years old (1967/1968), so he would be 52 or 53 years old today. My father’s name is Roy Berlie. As far as I am aware, the adoption was a decision which was made by the birthmother’s parents, without my father or the birth mother’s say, due to their daughter’s young age (I think she was only 17). All I know about her is that she was my father’s first love (they were a couple), her first name is Dorothy (called ’Dot’) and that she used to be a dancer when she was young. My father (who is now 71) has talked about their son to me, over the years, and I know that losing him has always been a great sorrow for him. I’ve always wished to some day meet and get to know my half-brother and so has my sister, Catherine (35 y.o.), and also of course for my dad to get the chance to meet/find him. Thank you for any help.
