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
316. M3l1nda : My name isMelinda and I was born at the Redcliffe Woman’s Hospital on the 26th September 1969. I did have a little information about my biological history. My mother’s name was Catherine or Katherine Hobson. Her mother’s name was the same I think. The address on the birth certificate was that they lived at 64 King Street Annerley. Within five years of my birth she married Patrick Or Patric Lionel Grey or Gray and I think they lived at Ekbin.
319. Shermaw : Searching for birth father Robert (Slim) Ritchie or relatives of same. Last known to be working on a property near Hughenden Qld in 1956-57 approx 26 years old at that time. He was born in Melbourne
320. V1ck1 : I was born in Brisbane Women’s Hospital on 06/12/1963 to Joyce Elizabeth Shearer (Aged 34, formerly Hopkinson, born in Nowra NSW) and Angus James Shearer (Aged 42, born in Toowoomba QLD) both of 38 Benalla Street, Manly QLD. I was placed with Jill Fay Waters (formerly Burton) and John Howard Waters of 32 Camp Street, Toowong QLD on 11/12/1963. My adoption to Jill and John Waters took place on 11/07/1969 when they lived at 121 Belmont Road, Tingalpa QLD. Adoption took place through the Department of Children’s Services (I think). Any assistance would be appreciated, including details of any siblings or other family members, and reason why the adoption took so long, and why my first two names were not changed at the time. Thank you, Vicki Elizabeth Kelly (nee Waters)
