471. NadineC : I am looking for my Dad’s biological family, the surname was Briscoe (not sure if this is the correct spelling). He was born at Johannesburg General Hospital on 5 August 1948. He was adopted by Harry and Jean Dawe.
472. Barbs14 : I am still searching for my Son, Sven Langston. He was adopted thru Mandel Mandel. I know the adoptive mother had a daughter about age 11 or 12 and the adoptive father had no other children. I have no other info sadly. I have been searching for my boy forever, approx 16 years. He will possibly be a big build person, blond or red hair. His birth fathers name is Alan Langston and I was Barbara Langston at time of adoption. I was never notified by Mandel of the 10 day periods in which I had to change my mind, I begged for my child back after 3 days and I am still waiting.
473. Tickey : Alfred Watt Hayes was adopted when he was about 5 years old. I do not know what his birth name was. His adopted parents were Edgar Samuel Hayes and Antoinette Orr Hayes (Born Watt). He had a biological brother by the name of Gordan who died at an early age from a motor bike accident. He said he was born on Port Alfred but they do not seem to have any records of his birth or adoption.
476. ColleenFouche : Born in Jhb hospital. I was in house for unwed mothers next to a church - i think it was Yeoville.
Son was registered Jacques Fouchè - i suppose he might have been renamed.
Adopted by parents who stayed in Roodepoort as far as I can remember.
His father and I did not get married.
I married Martin Joubert on 12nov1982. we are still married.
Jacques has a brother Francois that has his birthday on 10march (1985) - a day after Jacques who was born on 9march (1976). Francois is married to Surina and they have two children - Edrique (2june 2012) and Leezaney (1dec2016).
And his other brother‚ Charl was born 16march(1988) and his sister Marisha born 20feb (1990) - her son was born 8march (2016) and daughter on 5sept (2013).
Jacques’ granny Margaret is still alive at 91years and she might still be hanging on to see him join the family - she is currently in a stepdown after an short and unexpected ICU stay muscles now weakened.
His uncle Deon Fouchè has his birthday on 19march (1967). Deon has no children and would love to meet up with Jacques! My sister Lorna has one son‚ Dalain (20march1986)
so ja it will be eventful when Jacques does join us. looking forward to him joining our ranks 46years is very long
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 found my daughter! I got on adopted.com on Friday about 8pm. I had 6 matches‚ I sent out 3 messages and my daughter Karen was the first one to reply. By 9pm we were emailing each other. She looks just like me. I can't believe this has happened. Thank you adopted.com for this successful reunion!

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.
