362. Jadie : My name is Jade and I am 23 years old. I recently found out that I have an older sister who was given up for adoption because my mother could not look after her.
I know nothing about her, apart from the fact that she is 3 years older than me. Our parents’ names are Maricke Marx and Joey Fick. I know that when she was born, our parents were not married. And there is no indication that our father was at the hospital the day she was born.
Apparently, my mother was in contact with the parents who adopted my sister, but they lost contact after a few years.
I want more than anything to find her. I may not know her but I do know that since I found out about her, I have always loved her.

367. Ian621 : I am searching for my birth mother. I was adopted shortly after my birth which was 27 October 1973. I’m told my birth name was Louis Gumtoe. I was adopted by John and Elsmay Barnes in Johannesburg. I am told that the reason for my adoption was my mother being very young at the time of my birth and being of a Catholic family she was not allowed to keep me. It would be a great comfort to know that my mother is alive and well. I would not wish to disrupt her new life and would not insist on a meeting unless she wished to meet me.

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.
