A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Nelson 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
3. JoanneSowman2783 : I am trying to find my half sister.
she was named Ainsley Riordan on the day, she was born on the 21st of april 1981 in nelson new zealand and was adopted that day, my mums name at the time was Alison Riordan. all i know is that my mum wanted her adopted to a christian family.
Than you for your time
it would be great to find her
5. Chelle78 : Hello I am trying to find an older sister who I think may have been adopted in the late 60’s or early 70’s.
My grandmother was sent a letter from the grandmother of the adopted child explaining that a baby girl had been born and would be adopted out.
The family of the child who was adopted out lived in Christchurch, New Zealand but may have moved to the North Island due to the daughter becoming pregnant either before or after the adopted child was born? (The father of the girl who was pregnant was the Chief Postmaster in Christchurch at the time)
7. Helen50 : I am looking for children of Robert John Mead. Robert lived in Levin in the 60s and 70s. So far there are 4 boys to the woman Robert married and 3 adopted children, we are aware that there is at least 2 more children out there somewhere. The information we have is Chic-France probably born before 1965 and Roxanne-China probably born between 1969 and 1970. I have no idea how accurate this information is as it was discovered on a piece of paper after Roberts death.
8. Jaredpearce : Sealed pre adoption records.
Birth mother under age at time and force to give up baby.
Birth mothers parents would most likely be the legal signatories to access this information.
Birth mother: Robyn June Mithchell
D.O.B 30/07/1955
Born in Wellington.
Birth Mothers Parents Names: June and Douglas Mitchell, Living in Auckland. Douglas now deceased.
10. ChrisHallSW16 : Birth Mother
Beverley Harrington
I am aware of who my Birth Father is, however by BM had a number of relationships with others, and all but onw of the children were placed up for adoption. I understand that there are likely to be 6-7 siblings
12. AnnmarieLeeks : I don’t know my brother age or this name …. Our mother was Lynnette Leeks … I think he was adopted from birth … brother has try to find her Lynnette Leeks … I would like to find my brother and not sure where to start with out this name or age ..year he was born
13. AnnmarieLeeks : My mother name is Lynnette Leeks/ Osborne …. I’m hopefully I can found my brother not sure of the year or age plus I have no name all I know that I have a brother … the family that did know are not talking about … some say the brothers could be younger or older then I was born in 1968 Wellington New Zealand…. He was adopted by family in New Zealand somewhere thank you for helping me
14. Jared81 : I am the son of my late Mother......whom after Mums passing‚ was informed about older sibling. I was told only she had a daughter. When‚ where‚ who‚ why‚.??? I do not know.
At the time of my "sisters" birth/adoption. It is my understanding‚ that Mum was very young‚ unmarried and unfortunately as this was the "norm"‚..was instructed by her parents and social worker guidance‚ to relinquish all rights as birth mother and in turn her parents were to act as signatory and command accountability for these documents‚ which i am assuming is for a "closed adoption".
All i know is that she fell pregnant around 1968 - 1978 in New Zealand. She was born in Wellington 1955. Possible relocation to Australia during and after pregnancy?
Names relevant to this case would be birth mothers parents.?? Mr Douglas Mitchell and Mrs June Mitchell. (Both have passed) And birth mother Robyn June....
15. Maddisonpyatt : My Nana Josephine mary lavery was adopted out to Hugh Henry lavery and Ena rose lavery from a young woman’s unit at birth‚ I’m wanting to find out who her birth family is so my family can finally know our heritage
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.
