Ford was born at 3202 Woolworth Ave. in Omaha, Nebraska, on Monday, July 14, 1913, at 12:43 AM CST to Leslie Lynch King and his wife, the former Dorothy Ayer Gardner, and was originally named Leslie Lynch King, Jr.. His parents separated before he was born and divorced five months after his birth, making him the only President whose parents have been divorced. Two years later, his mother married Gerald Rudolff Ford, after whom he was renamed despite never being formally adopted. Raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan with his three half-brothers by his mother's second marriage, Ford was not aware of his adoption until shortly before turning fifteen. "My stepfather was a magnificent person," Ford stated, "and my mother equally wonderful. So I couldn't have written a better prescription for a superb family upbringing."[1] He later changed the spelling of his middle name.
