I have never looked for you before as our story wasn’t exciting‚ but as I get older...family is family. So if you are out there...you have two sisters‚ and an older half brother‚ but that is another story!

We share the same parents Hilda Sefton & Barry Geddes‚ I was put up for adoption at birth (Sept.1959)and I believe you were fostered out within extended family. I have been searching for you for years‚ someone said last known address was Adelaide. Can anyone help please?
236. Larnie02 : We are looking for relatives of Shirley Hudson‚ from New Zealand‚ we believe.
We were told that Shirley came to Adelaide to give birth to a child out of wedlock before she returned to NZ.
She gave the baby a name of Raewyn Hudson.
238. 94975 : My birth mother was a waitress at a hotel in the Pukekohe area‚ Auckland‚ New Zealand in the 1950s. I believe she was about 19 when she gave birth to me. I understand that she may have had an affair and thus became pregnant. She was English‚ my birth father Yugoslav.
I was born on 14 June 1956. I believe my original name was Jennifer Lynette Crowther (or Lowther).
My birth mother continued working and looking after me but finally gave me up for adoption when I was approximately 18 months old. It is understood that she met a man‚ he asked her to marry him but wanted my birth mother to give me up for adoption.
My adoptive parents were a Karl and Ailsa Grossmann. My adoptive father was Swiss‚ my adoptive mother a New Zealander. They were sharemilking at Ngarua in the late 1950s.
My adoptive parents moved to Whangarei early 1960 however my birth mother quite possibly would not have known this.
I have always wondered about my birth mother and birth father. Where are they now??? Do I have half brothers and sisters.
240. JanGordon : I am searching for my birth mother‚ Valerie Beryl Stephenson originally from Adelaide. She came to New Zealand in 1962 to have me and may have returned to Australia shortly after. I have a sister whom is approx 3 years older than me. My birth mother was a machinist at a factory back then and loved‚ dancing‚ arts and crafts and a very beautiful woman with an uncomplaining nature. She had an affair with a married man at the time‚ she came to NZ to give birth as she was not married. My father was not named on the birth certificate however he was tall‚ dark and very handsome apparently. I wish to make contact of some descript. There is a photo of me attached.
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.
