William Soundry born 12/08/1942 we believe he was adopted out at about 4 years old when his mother left his father. David George Soundry born 19/12/1943 or thereabout and adopted out with his brother. We were told they were in an orphanage somewhere around Colac where they were living at the time. Barry Leonard Soundry born 08/05/1946 (not sure if this was his given name) who Cleo was pregnant with at the time she left her husband. We believe he was adopted out to a cousin‚ not sure where or when. Adopted parents were Leonard and Clawreen Soundry. Lived around Colac or Hamilton . These boys all had the same father and mother. My sister and I have a different father in SA. We have also found another 2 brothers that were adopted out in Melbourne‚ in 1952 and 1954‚ one has adoption papers with my mum's name as their mother but do not know who their fathers were. They were told they had different fathers. My mother's name was Cleo Moyne Soundry and she was born 09/04/1924. I was born in 1956 and my sister 1962 in SA. We would love to know the circumstances around why my mother adopted out so many children and kept myself and my sister.
