I am so lost. My husband was raised by his birthmother and adopted by his stepfather when he was roughly 3 years old. Now at age 29 he's been actively searching for his birthfather for about 2 years.
His mom was 15 at the time of his birth and has little to no memory of his birthfather. We have a name and not much else.
With such limited information, we just don't know where to go from here. Does anyone have any suggestions???

If you have a name, then you have a good start. Try old city directories to find possible name of relatives, google can come up with surprising things, and there is always FB. Ancestry is a great idea. Try high schools in the area and check their alumni lists. I hate to say this, but my guess is Mom knows more than she's letting on, or the right questions haven't been asked to jog her memory. My bmom was 15 as well, and I'm now 44. She has excellent recall of my bdad. (that isn't to say that some don't block things out, but that tends to be the Mom's that give up their kids, not the ones that keep them)
