I do not know my brothers adopted names but they have a sister Lesley Mason (who I traced 10 years ago). My name prior to adoption (22.5.1957 via Dorset County Council) was Sandra Victoria Martin and my stepdad was Leslie Bertram Mason. He sadly died soon after my brothers adoption. We have other siblings via our birth mother who are living in Australia. If anyone could offer any help in tracing Gerald or Andrew-James I would be extremely grateful. At the time of their adoption we were all living at my grandparents home in Poole, Dorset. From contact I have had from Kent county Council they may have been adopted into the same family. I have copies of their birth certificates which prove our relationship via our mother.
