A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Durham Who Chose To Be Featured
286. SJade_ : My father was the child of "Ethel Carr" and "Ronald Adrian Stephens". His birth name was "Glyn David Carr".
My father was born on the 6th February 1967. He was put up for adoption at 6 months old.
Ethel and Ronald were living in Camberley at the time. Ronald was a married man‚ and had a wife and 2 sons elsewhere.
Ethel was living with family when trying to raise my father‚ but due to circumstances she had to make the decision to put him up for adoption. It is believed Ethel’s sister tried to play a part and support Ethel in his upbringing.
It is believed that a few years later‚ Ethel remarried a man named "Ronald Andrews" and had 2 more children with him. We believe they are named "Simon and Julie Andrews".
We are also told that Ethel later changed her government name to "Jennifer Andrews".
We know that Ethel/Jennifer sadly passed away.

I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
