Adopted.com is proud to offer a country-wide Adoption Reunion Registry for Tasmania where you
can meet by mutual consent whether you've accessed your adoption records or not. From Hobart
to Smithton and everywhere in between, if both parties want to meet then you can find each
other on Adopted.com!
Tasmania law recognizes that adopted persons have the right to know their origins and identity,
and therefore provides for adult adopted persons to have access to their original birth record and
other records associated with the adoption. All Tasmanian residents seeking information are
required to attend an interview with a counsellor before receiving information of any kind.
A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tasmania Who Chose To Be Featured
166. UnknownGirl64 : Searching for a girl born at the Crown St‚ Sydney hospital in 1964‚ she was born in either September or October 1964. The 11th October has been a date that has been mentioned.
Birth mother Diane Burns approx 17yrs old at the time of the birth‚ birth father unknown.
I don’t know where or when the adoption took place but assume that it was in NSW.
168. LindaB01 : Suspected Forced adoption (TAS - 1964) - mother told son had died but bizarre and sad circumstances lead me to believe he may well have been alive and adopted.
170. HelenMM : Hi there lovely people‚ I’m helping my adopted sister to try and find out who her biological father was as it’s not recorded on the birth certificate.
One of the interesting things we have learned is that our mother apparently lived in Cressy TAS at the time of the birth. I can’t imagine this to be correct but it’s stated in the adoption order which wasn’t filled out in our Mum’s writing‚ only the signature.
Does anyone who if there was an unmarried mother’s place in Cressy in 1952? My mother never mentioned Cressy‚ the adoption and is now passed. There are no living relatives to ask.
Fingers crossed someone can help in finding out why Mum was in Cressy in July 1952.
171. SisterSearch82 : Birth mother named Christine. She and the birth father were both around 15yrs old and from South Australia. The child could have been born in a different state.
173. LocateDavid : David born 21 June 1953 at QUeen Victoria hospital ‚ LauncestonTasmania. Birth mother Barbara Francis Thornbury was 20 years old when I was born lived in Hobart all her life went on to marry married name Lisson had two other sons looking for any info about who could be my father.
174. Shane3 : My name is Shane Elliott my mother's name was Jeanette fenton my dad name was David hanlon im just wanting to no y I was adopted as my birth mother has passed n my birth father dose not no anything
175. Lydbean : I am the niece of the adoptee. My grandmother had a baby out of wedlock and was made to give it up for adoption by her dad. My grandmas name is Margaret and her maiden name was Robertson I believe. My grandma is from Brisbane/QLD and I know she was sent to Darwin for the pregnancy and to give birth‚ so I assume that would be where the adoption took place.
177. LynetteDouglas : My mother (now deceased) was Zetta Zone Rossiter (new Hamer)‚ born 13/08/1929 at Scottsdale‚ Tasmania.
I was also born in Scottsdale (Soldiers Memorial Hospital) on 09/11/1947.
My mother never told me anything regarding my birth father.
I was adopted when I was around 13yrs old by William Buckley Rossiter.
Any information regarding g my birth father would be appreciated.
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.
