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!

A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Queensland Who Chose To Be Featured
391. Kiki1988 : Born in the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital to a young mother. She named me ’Alana’ at birth and left me clothes, toys, and a very sweet note. I’m not sure if I want full contact but I’m planning on starting a family soon so family medical details would be wonderful.
393. Tonirussell : I am searching for my biological father, who may have passed away, as he was older than my mother, but i am interested in finding his 2 children, my step brother and step sister, as i am an only child. My mother was 17 when i was born, and my grandparents (mother parents) adopted me. I was then adopted back to my mother and stepfather in 1970. My bio father was listed on my original birth cert, but my mother wrote a letter stating he was not my father, as the police were going to arrest him, as she was underage. I contacted him in 1991 and he sent me the letter. He then told me he had 2 children, a boy born approx 1975 and a girl born approx 1971. I do not know thier names, but my fathers name was Stuart Irvine and his wifes name was Amy Frances Irvine (nee Grainger) They were married in Feb 1966, a year after i was born. Thier address at the time i contacted him was 7 Robinson Place, Baulkham Hills NSW. My birth mothers name is Marlene Emma Reynolds (nee Jackson) and her parents who adopted me originally were Gustave and Norma Jackson all from Rockhampton. I was born in RBWH, where my mother remained until she turned 18. The name on my current birth certificate after being adopted back to my mother and step father in 1970/71 is Toni Marree Reynolds. Thank you
Toni Russell
394. Cgalloway : Looking for my half sister, we have only found out you where adopted out in the last few years, your birth mothers name is Marie Anne Galloway or maiden name is Pitkin. We believe our mother named you Angela, at birth. Your mother may have blocked you from having contact but your brothers would like to know you.
395. Angie19051961 : Hi I was born in Brisbane Qld in 1961my real mother gave me up then 4 years later she and her husband got me back it wasn't untill I turn 50i had heart trouble that I was told that I had Rematic fever as a baby and when I ask my mother ther she said she didn't know at all.
But I was about to marry my late husband when I had to call DMM Qld fory birth certificate that the chappy on the phone had informed me I had 2 birth certificates. And my mother was iin the room as it was on loud speaker. And I said wtf and she just said if the father I knew didn't love me he wouldn't have given me his mane. As he had abused me all my childhood. And all I know is she was 18 or 19 when she had me and was made to give up. As at the time she was in Brisbane boarding school. And live around Amberly Brisbane.
396. Angie19051961 : I was born in Brisbane women’s hospital my mthers name is delta kathereen biancotti and I don’t know of my real father as she married a man in 1961 in which I was told he was my father to only find out when I was 50 he wasn’t I would just love to know whom my dad is as Ibdont want to hurt him or his families just to know whom I truely am as my addopition was a closed one and have been recently told since mum has passed I can now find you please if you knew her help me as I’m 60 tomorrow and want to have my dads name at least.
398. PaulDowdell : my mother gave birth to a boy at Boothville maternity hospital in Brisbane in 1963 or 1964, run by the Salvation Army.
her name was Beverly Anne Williamson born 10/07/1944 and the father was most likely listed as unknown (though we now do have that information) She named the child Derek and he was put out for adoption 3 days after his birth where she then returned to nsw.
After my mums passing this information saw the light of day, hence my search.
402. Lisalittlewood31 : I was born in Rockhampton my mother and father are from Mackay. I have found my birth mother. The only name I was given was Paul Comoletti
403. Jasmine_McPhail85 : I am searching for my fathers Biological Mother - She placed my father for adoption in Brisbane in 1958, her name was Margaret Mary Oliver, was 18 years old from Innisfail with the listed occupation as a cleaner. The original birth certificate states she was British and that her parents were divorced. She listed my dads Biological father as 21 years old, Greek Decent and was a teacher also in the Innisfail area. It is unclear if the father was aware she was pregnant and placed the baby for adoption.
Margaret Mary Oliver named my dad Phillip however this was changed by his adoptive parents.
405. Mraus70 : I’m trying to find my adopted sister. I believe she was born in Rockhampton‚ QLD. She was placed for adoption in Rockhampton and have been led to believe she still lives in Rockhampton. Her birth name was Debbie or Deborah.
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.
