A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within New South Wales Who Chose To Be Featured
991. Katiematten : Looking for my half-brother who was born between 1972-1974 at Broken Hill Base Hospital. He was adopted out to a family‚ unsure how soon after birth. I believe he has previously tried to make contact to his birth mother‚ Karen Simmons who was 16 years old (married name is Matten). Father unknown. My grandmother (deceased) had some contact with the adoption parents and potentially my step-brother years ago. My grandmothers name was Lenore Rose Simmons.
993. Pbhicks : I am Looking for my older sister Judith Marie Hicks‚ born 10 June 1957 to Mary Rose Hicks(19) later Moodie‚ at St Margaret’s Hospital‚ Darlinghurst N.S.W. My mother passed away on 8 May 1989 after many operations and years of ill health and my aunt Patricia Ward(now deceased) was making enquiries and I have a sheaf of letters to various govt departments to no avail ‚ I believe she was told that Judith (as she was then) had taken her name off the register some years before. My mother requested her sister to make enquiries and I have only recently rediscovered notes about my mother’s teen years. She would possibly have auburn hair‚ blue or hazel eyes and freckles‚ as my late mother and my grandmother were both redheads (as I believe was the father). My mother was always regretful but as a strict Catholic things were different back then I believe.
If there is any way of getting in contact with her—- I would love to finally get in touch‚ even if just by email…
Warm Regards‚
P.B.Hicks

1001. Lisamesic : I was born in Paddington Hospital in Sydney.
I did get some information from a previous search indicating my mother was Lorraine Goldsmith and her birth date was around 25 March (I think she was around 17-18 at the time of my birth). Father was unknown at that stage.
There was a note about her living some time in Singapore.
I cannot find the original paperwork‚ but hope this is helpful.

I was born in Sydney on the 7th of July 1961 and found out after my parents and only brother had passed that I was adopted
This was told to myself the day before my 61st birthday by a cousin which was and still is a shock
I have since found out my Birth mother’s maiden name but do not know anything else about her or if I have other brothers and sisters
This would be great to know for my family as I have four children all adults now but would love the opportunity to meet my family
