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
511. Rosaka : I was14 years old when I gave birth to my son at Mackay base hospital he was taken straight .away from me by the nurse and put up for adoption by my mother as I was under-age It was a caesarian birth. I GAVE HIM THE NAME of Jaydee Shah Madden my religion was Church of England.I have been looking for him ever since.He has 3 brothers that want to meet him too. I Have never been married.
513. Kalane : Birth mother Wendy Anne Callan born 15 March 1954 in Warwick Qld. She married before she gave birth to you‚ and she loved you‚ her baby but her husband would not allow her to keep you. My sister was not strong person and made the only decision she could to keep you safe from the harmful situation she was in. It affected the rest of her life and she could not find a way to reach out for you due to her intense feelings of failure. You were always in her thoughts until she passed.
514. PCrimm : hi‚ am searching for my husbands birth parents‚ he was born on 04/07/81 at rockhampton‚ birth mother was 16 and father was 18 and a janitor at a school? We don’t have much information. He was then living with a foster carer until he was adopted to a lovely couple at Mt Gravatt.
516. KelsiRose : I’m trying to find my dads maternal parents‚ his name is Mark James Grayson and he thinks he has been swapped at birth. My DNA test shows up I’m italian even though my grandma isn’t.
518. Jennythompson1965 : Hi The Identifying information at time of Adoption for adopted siblings My Mother Adopted Four Babies out I’ve had contact with my half sister looking for aBrother Kenneth Alan Harper
519. LooksLikeMe2 : I have been longing ever since as a 10 year old child I was told I was adopted to find someone that wasn’t a child of mine that people would say "Oh you look like..." I have no preconceived idea of what the future holds. I am an independent grown woman that has a good understanding of emotional intelligence as well as being intelligent and although for most of my life I have felt shame about being adopted this has long passed and I am not looking for contact in order to turn lives upside down but if there is someone out there that can help me find my biological roots I would be eternally grateful. From the adoption papers I viewed as a child before they were destroyed my birth mothers name was Margaret Gardner‚ Gardener or perhaps Gardiner. It was a long time ago but the name itself sticks in my mind all these years later. Apparently she was 14 when she had me which would make her around 78 now. No information on father other than he was Swedish which funnily has come up in my DNA as well as a lot of Scottish from both parents. Parents‚ Siblings whoever. I would love to meet you.
520. Morgs88 : My Mum and Uncle (twins) born 10th April 1967 and were adopted in Brisbane Qld to a couple living on the Gold Coast.
I’m looking for any information on any birth relatives to my Mum
522. Jazzmin1978 : Mother is Claudette Susanne Benson nee Richardson born 7/11/1949
Father Barry Benson DOB unknown
Richard Paul Benson was born in Launceston Tasmania on April 3rd 1968
523. Jossie75 : I was born in Mackay‚ QLD to a very young mum (who I have met). I was placed with my adoptive parents immediately‚ although my adoption wasn’t finalised until February 1977.
I’m particularly interested in locating my birth father‚ or any other relatives beyond my birth mother and her children. My birth mother’s maiden name is Sidara.
524. Tanishalouise : I am searching on behalf of my dad for his birth parents.
He is a 50 year old male ( as of 2022) born 1st August 1972 (at least that is what we were told). Location of Hospital is royal Brisbane.
The only information known is the birth mother was young (teenage/early adult)
He was adopted to parents Kerry and Iris Woolacott
I would love to find my biological grandparents and my father his birth parents.
525. Mirakaipowell : Lily May Kempthorne is my great-great grandmother. I am looking for her records in hopes to find her bio parents. Ancestry states she was born in Moschito Island but that doesn’t seem to exist in Queensland. I understand It may be a long shot due to her being born so long ago‚ Im not sure how long records are kept for.
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.
