My dad was adopted in late 1954 or early 1955. I’m not certain of exact dates of birth and adoption‚ it was all hush hush‚ but he had believed he was born in Auckland on the 28/12/1954. He was likely adopted within days‚ but he may have been born somewhere other than Auckland. Unfortunately‚ he has since passed away. It was not known to him that he was adopted until he was in his 40’s and he was told it was a secret adoption‚ and the only information available was that his mother was married - possibly to a sailor or in the navy‚ he had at least 3 - possibly 4 birth siblings‚ 2 of which may have been twins. Unsure if the navy/sailor was his biological dad or not. My dad was Caucasian‚ very fair skinned‚ very blue eyes‚ very blonde hair as an infant and child‚ that became brown as an adult. I am searching for his birth family‚ though he has passed away‚ for myself because I believe his adoption means I am also half adopted‚ not knowing my own family. I would like to know my ancestry‚ and to be able to share this with my two sons.
