can meet by mutual consent whether you've accessed your adoption records or not. From Perth
to Brisbane and everywhere in between, if both parties want to meet then you can find each
other on Adopted.com!
In New South Wales adult adoptees (18 and over) are able to access identifying information from
the government, unless a veto preventing access has been submitted.
A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within New South Wales Who Chose To Be Featured
406. Michael19 : My mother went to Australia in 1950 and returned to England in 1955. I found out (after my mother passed away) that she had a daughter whilst she was in Australia, she moved around a bit staying in Melbourne,Brisbane and Hobart (Tasmania). I have checked government adoption depts in mainland Australia and there is no record of any adoptions with a birth mother named Dorothy Ward so I’m assuming that the birth was in Tasmania in 1953.
408. Kelley1962 : The birth mother’s name was Barbara Marion Burns aka Glossop. She grew up in Orange NSW and was a nurse. The birth father’s name is Clive Thomas Bennett. Barbara gave birth to a boy somewhere in Sydney in 1961. The father’s details were never recorded on the birth registration. Barbara married Ronald Milton Miller in 1962 in Sydney.
I am the daughter of Clive Thomas Bennett and Lesley Helen Quinlan. I was informed by my father in 1983 that I had a half brother but I haven’t been able to get any help in finding him.
409. Storri64 : I have found both birth parents. Both are deceased.
Lorraine Logue - Narwee NSW
Thomas Dawson - Glen Innes NSW
There are half-siblings on each side. But I am now curious if anyone else has the same birth father and is seeking information.
410. KatherineORegan : Searching for family members from my biological fathers side. I hope to meet my biological father or siblings that may still be alive.
412. Rae-Anne : When I was 4 years old my father was court ordered to hand over all rights to my self and my two brothers.
My mother remarried a year later and my step father adopted all three of us children.
We were not aloud to speak about our biological father and were never aloud any contact with him.
I’m now 34 and need to find my dad, he is apart of me that has been missing, all our photos and things were taken away so I haven’t even seen a photo of him.
I don’t want anything more then to find my dad before it is too late
413. Rogermalory : Supposed to have been born at St George Hospital Kogarah NSW but the hospital has no record of birth. Delivered by Dr. George Wilcox who had a practice in Kogarah. Adoptive parents, Ralph & Marguerite Antoinette (Ann) Emmerson of Taren Point NSW 2229.
415. Samanthaf : I’m looking for my brother who I believe is called David Coleman. All I know is that he met our mother briefly in one in Chatswood Sydney and that he has red hair and was a Chef at the time.
416. DebbyT : Looking for my birth father. I was born in Sydney at Camperdown. My birth mother is Patricia Thompson. My birth certificate shows father unknown and birth mother unwilling to give me any information
418. Sarah1965 : Hi my name is Sarah and am looking for my biological father. I’m told his name is Robert Stewart has green grey eyes and was in mid 20’s in 1964. Last known job was working on Bourke High School as a labourer in ’64/65.
Apparently he was going to join the police force, following his father’s footsteps, I’m told.
I have searched unsuccessfully in both 1990’s and 2000’s and am hoping that modern technology will work wonders.
I was born in King George V Sydney and my adoption was private in Sydney.
My mother’s name is Sylvia Parsons, aged 25 at time of birth. She nursed in Bourke.
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.
