70. AnneliePieterse08 : I am looking for my birth parents‚ so hopefully they are on here or someone who knows them. I don’t have much information at all which makes it challenging. I do however have my ID number.
My names and everything got changed through court by my adopted parents when they adopted me so not sure what my first and last name was on my original birth certificate or how much other details of mine got changed as well on there from the hospital. I only have a copy of the one through the court.
I would love to get to know them :) no hard feelings from my side at all.

75. WaspStar : Hi, I’m trying to find the birth parents of my great grandmother, who was put up for adoption at birth.
She was born circa 1892 in South Africa, on her marriage certificate, it says "Cape Colony" but could also have been in the Johannesburg area.
From a DNA test, I have discovered that she was from a Ashkenazi Jewish family.
I have traced a number of DNA matches and I am fairly certain that I know of her family line, but I’m still not 100% certain who her birth parents would have been as a couple of things don’t tie up, mainly her date of birth.
I would like to be able to obtain any information regarding her adoption, I know it was a long time ago, but it would be fantastic if i could tie up this family mystery.
