Gerald Ford, Sr., never formally adopted the future President, although some media refer to him as the President's adoptive father. Gerald Ford, Jr., was born Leslie Lynch King, Jr. on 14 July 1913.

Ford, Jr., although his name was not legally changed until 1935, Gerald Ford, Jr. formally changed his name in 1935, in honor of his stepfather, the only father he really had. " wikitree.com
