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.

487. Baymax9420 : I believe my brother has passed from a brain tumour when he was 8 years old. I was told he was buried in Nelson NZ but haven’t been able to find any record. He was born Daniel Glen (not sure of correct spelling) also not sure what his surname would be. His birth father’s name is Simon Steinfort. Not sure I know much else but would love to find where he is buried or whatever...
488. Funcarpet : I would love to find Kay Lorraine (last name possibly Bradley)‚ born in 1949 to Norma Patricia (Pat) Teitzel/Metcalfe. I think you were born in Queensland. I don’t know any more details of your birth but I would really love to connect with you. You are my Aunty.
489. Nicky080 : Hi‚ I am in search of my mothers father. Mum was adopted in 1960 at the Townsville hospital. We know who her birth mother is and have been in contact with that side of the family however we have no idea who mums father is. I have done a dna test and have results the closest family that shows up are 3rd cousins to mum and I’m not sure how to go about finding her father without a lady name.
Any help would be appreciated‚ thank you kindly‚

My adopted parents and I lived west of Brisbane. I also have an older adopted brother who is from another family.
493. Dange : Hi. My Birth Mother’s Name was Dawn Lillian Macfarlane and she lived in Wavell Heights Q with her parents when I was born at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital. I am wanting to find out about either my Mother or Father who was 23 years‚ was from England‚ a clerk‚ and lived in Sydney NSW.
494. Vicessimus : My uncle‚ Mervyn Leslie St Clair of Brisbane‚ conducted a relationship (or was possibly married to) Margaret Joan Hansen and they had a son‚ Noel John around 1948-9. Margaret convinced Mervyn to adopt the child out. After he signed the papers his family were furious that they had lost all contact with him. It has been a mystery what has happened to him and I’m hoping to find out. The only Margaret Joan Hansen I can find was married since 1944 and that may be the reason she was keen to have him adopted out. She died in 2012.

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.
