A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Hawkes Bay Who Chose To Be Featured
1. Judithgoyen : Searching for a half-sister born somewhere in New Zealand‚ probably in 1968. The only thing I know is that she was born with Talipes but was otherwise healthy & was given up for adoption soon after birth‚ I think.
The birth mother was Suzanne Margaret Dixon‚ born in September‚ 1949. I believe she was from Wellington‚ New Zealand.
If you have any information‚ please message me.
Thank you

She, was taken to Waipukarau in central Hawkes Bay for my birth & I was adopted from there, I was known as Patrick in hospital but my adoptive parents named me Matthew
4. Nikkii882 : I am trying to find my biological father, his name may or may not be Wayne Thompson but not sure how accurate this is. My birth mothers name is Faye Winnifred Hansen. From the info I have my father was 22years old and a truck driver at the time of my birth. I was born in Dannivirke hospital and my mothers family was from the area. Faye was 15 years old when i was born.
6. KathleenF81 : Jason Michael Farrell was my son. He was born at the Waipukurau maternity home on 29th January 1981. Brenda Waring who was a councillor / adoption officer was responsible for finding suitable home with loving parents for Jason. Brenda worked out of Hastings. The new parents named him Peter. He was adopted by people in Napier New Zealand and got a big sister who was about 3 or 4 at the time. I was told that his father was a lawyer.
The adoption papers were signed within a month of his birth with a lawyer by the name of David Dicks who was based in Waipukurau.
I used to send messages and gifts through Brenda Waring however the parents asked for that to cease. When Brenda retired / passed away I lost the only link I had to Michael.
8. GayCubitt : Helen Maria Reeves. Nee Thompson-Milne. Trying to locate my cousin who has 4 siblings. Helen remarried Tom Trinder and passed away in 1980. Have no idea where to start as we don’t have a birth date. Just know place was Rotorua and baby was female.
10. 010420 : Hi.
I am in search of a soon to 40 year old sister. Your birth parents names where Gaylene Davidson and Paul Knott (but I’m not sure if you know that)
You was born at Bethany Home in Napier on the 28/01/1978 (maybe around 6pm but was a night time birth) and only thing my mother heard when you were adopted was that you were adopted out to a family in the country but still local in Hawkes Bay.
You were born with amazing bright red hair so hopefully that is distinctive
11. Ladyinwaiting1feb2 : Born Bethany maternity home for unwed mothers, in Morris st Napier. Run by the salvation army on the 8th of June 1973 at10 past 6 pm to Glenda Curtis and Graeme Weir.
13. Rawikatene16 : Hello my name is Rawi Katene and I am hoping to fine my brother who was born 22nd June 1977 male. My mother gave birth to him in Napier at Bethany home. My mother does not have much information as she was just 15 years old and her parents made her adopt her son out. She has tried to get information from her parents but they will not discuss anything with her about the adoption. My siblings and I would love to find our brother and meet him if he was interested
15. JusticePurcell : Im trying to find my birth father who was born in Samoa but was in new zealand before i was born him an my birth mother worked in an orchard my birth mother has given me the name ’ Sam Timoteo’
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.
