Thirty years ago, a baby boy was left in the ladies toilets of London’s Gatwick Airport.
Now, Steve Hydes is appealing for his birth parents to come forward.
Nicknamed Gary Gatwick after the airport’s mascot, Steve was found wrapped in blankets and dressed in multiple babygrows.
The woman who found him, who worked in the airport’s duty free, said he was clean and appeared content and well looked after.
This lead to huge media coverage but his birth parents still have not been found.
After some time in foster care, Steve was adopted and had a great childhood growing up with three sisters.
He told Sky News “It’s the not knowing… why it happened.”
He gave insight into his situation by the impact it had on very basic things in his life.
“There’s also things like your medical history that others take for granted… you go to the doctors and they ask ‘does this run in your family?’ and I say ‘actually I don’t know’.”
Steve is being assisted in his search by the Missing Family organisation.
They believe that they may have found two DNA matches for Steve.
The matches whom had their DNA tested for the website could be the link but they have not logged into their accounts on the website to see their messages.
Gail Hickman from the website told Sky News “Right now we have two close relatives for Steven that we cannot contact as they have not logged into their profile to see their messages, which is not only frustrating, but greatly hinders the search.”
Steve, who now has two children of his own, has said that his birth parents should not be worried about coming forward as he is not angry with them, he just wants to meet them.
"I don't want them to feel afraid to come forward, I'm not an angry person, I'm not in it for that."
