The agency is Catholic‚ linked to St Mary’s Convent in Auckland. Birth certificate notes Grey Lynn. His aunt was a sister at the convent and remained there for her life‚ serving the Lord.
The birth name is included in his adopted name‚ I think he was born Francis.

168. Arohawhanau : My father and his full sister were separated and adopted out at birth im not sure if they are twins or not I assumed so. I know that my dad’s sister whom he only met in his 30s did track down there biological mother but from what I’ve been told was turned away . It’s possible my father has siblings that do not know about him .
169. Rufus22 : Hello‚ I am searching for my birth father‚ I have found and met my birth mother but she has very little information about my father.
He was apparently Hungarian‚ in the jewellery trade‚ Bob? could be his name.
I was born and adopted in Auckland
171. Joejoeparsins : My mother name Denise Joy Counihan 30th April 1957. Not sure where baby born as only know she went away june or july more likely 70 but possibly 71 and came back no baby my dad said. That’s all I know
172. PaulGiblin96 : I was born in Auckland‚ New Zealand on July 20th 1960‚ to a young woman named Kyra.
I believe she was 18 years old‚ single‚ & training as a Nurse.
She named me David‚ but my adopted family named me Paul.
I had a great childhood & was raised in a loving family of 4 children (2 adopted sisters‚ 1 older brother) by 2 wonderful people who sadly both passed away at 77 years of age. I would love to meet Kyra‚ but realise she would now be approximately 80‚ so I may have left it to late in searching her out.
I would appreciate any information that might assist me in my search to find out a little more about my Birth Mum. If my story rings a bell in your dim dark past‚ & you could steer me in the right direction to find Kyra or any possible siblings I may have‚ please let me know‚ it would be greatly appreciated.
174. BonnieRose : 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.
175. Nessynoo : My Mother noeline lines now radonich gave birth to a child adopted out at birth a female baby adoptive parents were teachers at this time She was a single mum unmarried at the time I would love to reconnect with my half sister I am now 51 years old and my mum is 4th level of Dementria please help my name is Vanessa hurley (radonich)

Unfortunately he has since passed away at the young age of 25 but he leaves behind myself and my sister.

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.

I have been searching off and on for a possible biological son since 2009‚ and found him recently due to a message he left on Adopted.com. He is extremely similar to me and my other son‚ and looks a lot like me! These past few days have been the best ever.
