Edinburgh man abandoned at birth on voyage across Morocco to find parents

An Edinburgh man who was abandoned by his parents at birth in Morocco has recently travelled to the North African country to continue his voyage to find clues about the reason he was adopted.

Ryan Anderson, 32, previously spoke with Edinburgh Live about his upbringing and just how little he knew about his real parents. All Ryan knows is that he was handed in to a hospital in Morocco shortly after he was born and then adopted by a British family who brought him to Scotland.

Ryan was named Rachid by his adoptive parents, who he refers to as him mum and dad. But he changed his name when he turned 19 and was not aware of the story of his past until he turned 18.
