A FORMER Droitwich Spa resident is searching for her missing son - 32 years after he was taken into care.

Mother-of-five Jennifer Burton last saw Adrian Richard Lamar Wheatley when he was nine months old.

Mrs Burton, who lived in West Croft Street and North Street, during the late 1960s and early 1970s says a day doesn't go by without her thinking of him.

The three-times married mum, who now lives in Malvern Link, gave up three children from her first marriage when she wed Adrian's father.

The marriage lasted two years. When the couple split, Mrs Burton, who was living in Droitwich, tried to kill herself.

She said: "Social services said I wasn't a fit mother and they took away Adrian and his sister, Sheila.

"They were fostered - I wouldn't let them be adopted in case there was a chance I could get them back.

"Adrian's foster parents sent me a photo of him when he was about six. I think he was in Redditch."

Mrs Burton knows where Sheila is living but the pair have not been reunited.

Anyone with information can write to Jennifer care of Droitwich Spa Advertiser, 12a High Street, Droitwich, WR9 8EW.
