10. Chelle78 : Hello I am trying to find an older sister who I think may have been adopted in the late 60’s or early 70’s.
My grandmother was sent a letter from the grandmother of the adopted child explaining that a baby girl had been born and would be adopted out.
The family of the child who was adopted out lived in Christchurch, New Zealand but may have moved to the North Island due to the daughter becoming pregnant either before or after the adopted child was born? (The father of the girl who was pregnant was the Chief Postmaster in Christchurch at the time)
12. Hkkiwi : Birth mother - Louisa Matilda ’Matilda’ (nee Gibbs) Evans
Birth father - George Edwin Evans
9 siblings - of whom at least 3 also went into care or were adopted but all of these remained in contact with the family

Audrey Ward was born at Riverton New Zealand 1927.
Audrey Ward was married in 1950 - Surname Dewe.
Audrey died at Hamilton New Zealand in about 1987.
Audrey has two younger sisters named Mavis Irene Ward and Valmai Laura Ward.
I am a descendant and would like to hear from anybody who knew or knows of Audrey Lavinia Dewe nee Ward.
Would be most grateful for any information.
15. Helen50 : I am looking for children of Robert John Mead. Robert lived in Levin in the 60s and 70s. So far there are 4 boys to the woman Robert married and 3 adopted children, we are aware that there is at least 2 more children out there somewhere. The information we have is Chic-France probably born before 1965 and Roxanne-China probably born between 1969 and 1970. I have no idea how accurate this information is as it was discovered on a piece of paper after Roberts death.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
