41. CarolMayPassmore : My twin brothers‚ were born to Cynthia May Passmore‚ b. 7 July 1932. I believe we were separated at birth‚ from Latrobe Tasmania in 1958. It seems they were adopted‚ together‚ privately as they found our mother in Jan 1979‚ when they visited her home‚ unannounced‚ in Ross Tasmania. They had access to documents stating her name and address‚ prior to state adoption law changes. I did not discover I was adopted until 2001‚ access to my file was through adoption information services‚ in Tasmania. My mother had to agree to contact‚ I counselling and we exchanged letters. My mother was unaware of how many children she gave birth too‚ nor ended‚ being part of the forced adoption era. By the time I found her they were no longer in contact. I was refused any information to find them. They do not know of my existence and will not be looking. Cynthia died 4 January 2016. Our father‚ Alex Payne‚ Perth Western Australia is alive. I believe our mother told you he was deceased‚ as she did me.

43. Michael19 : My mother went to Australia in 1950 and returned to England in 1955. I found out (after my mother passed away) that she had a daughter whilst she was in Australia, she moved around a bit staying in Melbourne,Brisbane and Hobart (Tasmania). I have checked government adoption depts in mainland Australia and there is no record of any adoptions with a birth mother named Dorothy Ward so I’m assuming that the birth was in Tasmania in 1953.
