My name is Moshe Mosis Lekgeu‚ ID Number 9604255599086‚ born on April 25‚ 1996.
I recently discovered that I was adopted as a newborn and am seeking help to locate my biological parents.
My adoptive parents have no contact with my biological parents but provided some information that may assist in the search.
My biological mother’s name is Kate Thabisile Mbuyane. Before my adoption‚ I was given the name Pilate Msindisi Mbuyane with the ID number 9604255164089. I was born on April 25‚ 1996‚ at HF Verwoerd Hospital in Pretoria.
The adoption took place around April 29‚ 1996‚ through the Children’s Court for the District of Wonderboom‚ held at Pretoria North‚ before ACJ Prinsloo‚ Commissioner of Child Welfare.
Any guidance or resources to help me trace my biological family would be greatly appreciated.
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.
