A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within New South Wales Who Chose To Be Featured
1456. Carolanngresham : I was told I was born at Crown Street Women's Hospital‚ Camperdown (Sydney)‚ NSW and adopted through the Dalmar Children's Home. All I know of my birth parents is that my birth mother suffered from epilepsy.
I lived in West Ryde/Meadowbank through early childhood‚ moving to Gladesville in later childhood and early adolescence.
I'm curious to know if I have any family members‚ and to put minds at ease if anyone has been searching all these years.
1457. 6810sam : I am searching for my father's biological parents. I have no details of his adoption. He may have been born in New south Wales or Queensland potentially. His adopted parents were Ivor and Nancy Brown and lived in the Mullumbimby area.
1459. Twins1986 : Boy and girl twins born in either Nepean or Blacktown Hospital on about 23 October 1986 to mother Linda Nancarrow ( may have used Coote or Kirk). Her dob was 25 March 1968. Father’s name not known. Adopted at birth
1461. Daveshipton : I am searching for family members. My birth mother was Constance Elanore Symonds (deceased). Would love any relatives to make contact
1464. MarkAllen26 : I would like to find my birth mother‚ her name at the time of my birth was Gail Esther STEPHENs her maiden name was Gail Esther ALLEN.
I was born at the Crown Street Women's Hospital in Sydney‚ NSW. The RN listed on birth certificate is Sister Milne and Dr Woodhouse.
I was adopted out to Wendy and Terry Young‚ it is unclear how old I was a ward of the state again by the age of 18 months of age. They lived in Penrith NSW.
I was then adopted out again to Christine and Stephen Lisney until the age of 11 and once again became a ward of the state. They lived in 37 Marshall Road‚ Telopea‚ NSW
1468. Hosken1 : Trying to help my husband find birth parents or family member
He was born in Casino NSW and adopted shortly after with in the first month
He was born in FEB 1974
1469. CaseyFowler1990 : Birth mother Irene Joyce Susan Pheeney‚ also known as Irene Joyce Susan Martin. Born 1924. Lived in Lismore‚ NSW area. Had 5 children that we are aware of but would disappear with each pregnancy. Sometimes would come back with a baby and sometimes wouldn’t. From memory there are 2 unknown other children that we are not sure what happened to.
1470. StephenPratt11 : I was born in Gosford Hospital NSW 11/10/1968‚ I'm Aboriginal so this should narrow down the search considerably!
Apparently my mother stayed with her sister in Gosford when I was born and I was adopted soon after.
Because of the year I was born I believe I could've been separated unwillingly‚ (stolen generation)
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 filled out my profile and had a match to my birth parents that same day! We connected on Facebook and talked for
a while to confirm that the match was accurate and it was! We are all very excited to get to know each other!

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.
