You guys, jokes aside, this woman is trying to find someone and its a pretty serious matter. Let's show some respect and not trivialize her thread. Hopefully its given her (as it has the rest of us) a laugh, but lets leave it to trying to get her some information that may help her.

Thank you espe3!! I did laugh but i have to agree with you that this is a serious matter.Its not like i'm looking for guy i hooked up with way back when but i'm in a better mood today so i can take the jokes!!!
Sorry for the laughing Teresa; I didn�t mean to be disrespectful, but it is true that the whole story is very much "script-like", and Laidback's photo with the "candidates" was really fun. I will help if I ever get some clue about the matter but I�m afraid it�s a difficult one, as many people have pointed out here. I wish you veeeeeery good luck, though. :cheers: :ks: :cheers:
Cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare
This is one of the most wonderful things I've seen done on the Web. It's about time this medium paid its way!!
First: I am American, and I am semi-blonde. (the rest of the semi is RED, so get the hell out of my way!!)
Second: This woman is doing the right thing. She got lucky at least once in Madrid; twice when she got a lovely little girl from the experience; she might just get luckier from this internet lot. Even if she does not, she can bring her daughter someday over to Madrid and show her round her long-vanished father's stomping grounds, tell her the romantic tale of her very first beginnings (maybe without the lurid details...), and give her daughter the greatest gift a parent can give: a story of her very own, with a real setting.
What an exciting, international tale for a child to be told. Handled properly, this little girl has such a romantic, exciting, colorful heritage to pull from; the Irish and Spanish have been "mixing it up" for ages, and how beautiful so many of them are for it all.
I wish I could help out. But knowing what I do about what happens when these kinds of dreams come true (often, reality = disaster) I say stick with the story as it exists. Point out men round about who look a bit like he does; look up the local modeling agencies and match up snaps, who knows?
Kids love stories. This kid has a lovely one. Give her that, at least!
Rebekah -- two kids, and many great tales!

I know you haven�t mentioned financial support, but could there be Spanish laws about absent fathers which could help you? This would get the state to do some looking, though maybe they don�t pass on contact details.
Whether the laws are actually enforced may be a different matter. Stephen
