Birth registered entry no. 8487/38. Adopted by William John Knott and Catherine Elizabeth Knott (formerly Steenkamp born Clapton)
For years‚ we have been trying to find out of my mom's biological parents were‚ she passed away since‚ but we are still desperate to find out who our biological grandparents were and of what family we are part of.
935. AngeliqueSA : Hi‚ I was born 26 October 1971 in Roodeport‚ J'burg‚ South Africa female‚ white European.
I was adopted in '73‚ as I was told‚ my birth grandmother thought and decided it was the best option for me.
Once adopted‚ I lived in Bulawayo‚ Rhodesia until '79 and then moved to UK.
I have completed a dna test and I am looking for any connections to help fill the gaps of my past.
936. HSLombard3316 : My father was adopted in Durban in 1947‚ his biological name was Gordon Genade and he had a sister called Jeanette Genade. He was adopted by an afrikaans family called Lombard.
939. Seuleen : I don’t have much information but my mom said she originally named her son Theodore Presence ‚ a dominee Strauss was involved with the adoption and she dated a Johan van Wyk back then which at the time was a police officer she lived in Johannesburg when this took place ‚ child was taken away from her as she was still a minor
942. Megan_J_C_Jones : I am searching for my paternal half-sibling‚ who I believe was born in or around 1954 in Cape Town‚ South Africa‚ and placed for adoption shortly after birth.
My father‚ David Dyfrig Jones‚ was born in Cape Town in 1934 to Welsh parents. He was studying at the University of Cape Town (UCT) around 1954‚ possibly undertaking teacher training‚ when he and his then-partner had a child who was subsequently placed for adoption. He would have been approximately 19 or 20 years old at the time.
Unfortunately‚ I don't know the child's birth name‚ the birth mother's name‚ the hospital where the child was born‚ or which adoption agency was involved.
I am David's daughter and currently live in Australia. I would dearly love to find my half-sibling‚ or any of their descendants‚ and potentially make contact if they would welcome it.
Any information that could help me trace this part of my family would be greatly appreciated.
943. LostAngel77 : My son was adopted by Charlotte and her husband‚ he also worked at Peace Force Security then and they lived at 495 Frederick street Pretoria Wes in 1994. My son was born in HF Verwoerd hospital in Pretoria. His names at birth that I gave him was Michael Dean Botha and his biological dad was Wimpie Bezuidenhout.
945. Charlet-May : You where adopted by 2 great beautiful people Simon and Mags. The Lady from the adoption agency name was Zoe unfortunately she has passed in 2011 so I can get in contact with her.
I don't want to disturb your life but never stopped wondering about you. And would like you to meet your siblings 3 boys.
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.
