Adopted.com is proud to offer a country-wide Adoption Reunion Registry for Australia where you
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 Queensland, 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 Queensland Who Chose To Be Featured
137. AlanMcG : My biological father was born 10 June 19714 in Brisbane Australia. He was adopted by a couple with the last name McGilvery.
They spent most of their time in QLD Australia. I am hoping to find other siblings of my father and other family members as I was fostered and never got to know any of his family
139. Wesleyso78 : The name on my original birth certificate ( prior to my adoption) was Tamara smith. My birth mothers name was Susan Smith.I Was born in the Mater hospital in Brisbane,Qld.I searched for a few years and obtained all information available to me however sadly was not able to find anyone from my biological family.I believe that i have sibling that is possibly still living in Brisbane. I’m hoping that reaching out via this site might help with my search. I really hope I find you....I have also enlisted the help of the Salvation Army post adoption services so if anyone is looking for me please feel free to call them as they will definitely be able to help us to make contact.I am hopeful, nervous and excited to one day be able to thank my birth mother for the life she allowed me to have and to acknowledge the sacrifice and painful decision she had to make.
140. Ange1975 : I believe someone is looking for me and that they have put a profile up on this site. The name given to me prior to my adoption was Tamara Smith. Hopefully we find each other as I searched extensively 6 years ago but unfortunately was unsuccessful. I really hope to make contact and finally have the opportunity to meet. I really hope to find you......

150. Lokisurfer : Cairns Hospital. Adopted 6 weeks after birth. Birth mother may have been a nurse. Birth father may have been a German backpacker on holidays.
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.
