I am in search for my biological father, his name is Gerald Carter ( info i have on him he was in military, and a black belt) and lived in the Richmond Va area. His grandmother resided in Blackwell Court back in the late 60's early 70's. He never knew my mother was pregnant with me(my grandmother chased him away) he went away to the military before my mom could tell him about me that was 35 years ago. Any suggestions anyone! Thanks for the help.
P. S. I have written letters, called the church, checked with military, etc. I am at my ropes end of giving up.

If you have the money, you may want to consider hiring a private detective. They know ways to find people that most of us do not have access to.
I tried to find my own father by the same methods that you mentioned, and none of them worked. However, it was too late by the time I considered hiring a PD.
Anyway, good luck to you. I am definitely of the conclusion that if it is meant to be, you will find him. If you do not find him, there is a good reason for it. Maybe you would not get the reception you hoped for. It's easy to have high hopes of a grand reunion ( I know I had them too), but try not to get caught up with that as you don't know much about this man and his current state of mind. he may never have wanted a child. That is worst case scenario, but I guess from experience, I would ask you to consider all of the possible outcomes.
I wish you the best.

don't give up..people search for their biological parents all the time and it can take years. Try starting with public records...sometimes you have to pay a little money, but it could very well be worth it. Also, look up stuff using any of the military info you have. In this day and age, it is nearly impossible to not find anyone! I wish you the best of luck and I truly hope you can find him.

I'm sorry that you didn't grow up knowing your adoption story. That must have been a hard realization when you finally found out. Ok, you can Google adoption registries (register with them all, you never know which one your birth mom might be registered with). You can also contact the state (where you were born and/or where you were adopted) the Vital Records department to see about getting original birth certificate and/or adoption decrees. This might cost you a nominal amount (most are less than $10/document). You can contact the agency or attorney that facilitated the adoption to see what information you can find out. I hope this helps!

Try going to Richmond VA and talking around. Maybe someone can locate him for you.

Have you tried people search sites? Or white pages? Vital Statistics?

people search is a good place to start, you may even try a talk show they do that sort of thing all the time.

Good luck, hon.
I know my own father and disowned him. I wish i never met the guy. You might just be lucky with what happened.

These sites can find people, but you have to pay to find out personal info.
