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 Victoria, adult adoptees (18 and over) are able to obtain access to identifying information
including their original birth certificate, court and agency records. Those wishing to obtain access
to information must also participate in a mandatory interview, which can take place in person or
over the phone in the case that the adoptee lives overseas. As of July 1, 2013, birth parents are
also able to obtain identifying information regarding the adopted child.

440. Trina27292 : Trying to find my Uncle. He was born in 1960 I believe between June and August. He was born around Melbourne area as far as I know. As it was during the forced adoptions I’m not sure if everyone has got the correct details of their birth parents I’ve found some people have had alot of false names on their original birth certificates but if you think you could be him or need a hand with your own search feel free to message me.
443. Emilywo87 : I am looking for siblings or biological parents of my Father who was born June 10th 1963 and adopted in Victoria - possibly Melbourne at or shortly after his birth. His adoptive name is Sean Douglas Walker.
444. Geoff1968 : My brother was born in Queen Victoria Hospital in Annandale‚ NSW. I don’t have much information to go on other than when he was born. Hospital records indicate November 19‚ 1955 and that custody was handed over on December 5‚ 1955
445. Judith5101 : My deceased mother was adopted in 1928. Her adoptive parents would tell her nothing and she unsuccessfully searched for many years for her birth family. She was told that her parents were Scottish. My siblings and I continue to search.
447. TeganKate : Hi‚ I am looking for my dad’s biological parents (my biological grandparents). All I know is that my dad’s birth name was John (not sure of the last name‚ when he was adopted his name was changed)‚ he was born on 14th August 1966 and I believe he was adopted from Victoria when he was around 1 years old. His adoptive parents names are Marie and Jim (James) Harris.
448. TeganKate : My dad was adopted and I am looking for our biological family. His birth name may have been John‚ he was adopted from Victoria by Marie and Jim (James) Harris.
450. Akcole42 : My mother (surname Jacobs) had a daughter that I believe was named Sarah at birth and was adopted within a week. She was born in Melbourne within a year or two of 1958. It would be lovely to meet.
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.
