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.

511. Melmel101 : My mum passed away recently and I’m trying to trace her biological family tree any ideas on how to do so cheaply
512. Stevepfindlay : I think my birth mother was from the Kyneton Victoria area. I believe she may have given birth to me in Echuca Victoria and returned to her hometown of Kyneton Victoria‚ after the adoption process. I also think that she may have married my birth father (also from the Kyneton Victoria area)‚ at a later date.
515. Julieboyd9 : My name is Julianne pendergast I am the birth mother and I am trying to locate my adoptive daughters birth names were Josephine Anne and Mary Louise pendergast the adoption ladies name was Jenny Fish and the went to St josephs adopted centre for babies they were born at the Royal woman’s hospital in grattan Street Carlton Melbourne
516. ZlcRobertson : Adopted name Keith Maurice Robertson. Adopted by Leslie William Arnold Robertson and Ruby Ann Robertson nee Grigg. My grandfather (Keith’s adopted brother) said he believed that Keith was adopted from one of Ruby’s Nieces. Keith has passed away and it is believed he never knew he was adopted.
520. Dunlop : My daughter was born in St Kilda in 1966 and I have not been able to contact her since she was adopted very soon after birth. Mother moved to New Guinea for a few years and I have lost track of her too. Would love to know if Sarah (?) is happy and has had a good life. I was told her given name is Sarah but this could easily have been changed.

Born on the 4th of October‚ 1984

523. GregCollings : I'm looking for a sybling who may have been given up for adoption about 1945. Mother's maiden name is Minchin. I suspect my sybling contacted my mother at some point. I'm just trying to fill a gap.

Michael56michael : Looking for my daughter born feb ? 1978 to a leonie hogarth from walsh st broadmeadows in melbourne.she was adopted out at birth.l found out about her existence 1980 when the mother told me about her but begged me not to disrupt her life which back then l agreed to.its also possible that this event occurred at st josephs babies home in broadmeadows which was one street from her family home in walsh st.
525. AlanKealley : Evelyn Mavis Dyer was born in Subiaco‚ Western Australia.
Her Mother was Lena Florence Dyer‚ father unknown. Husband Ernest Dyer was away on WW1 duties.
Lena went back to NSW in 1919 where I feel she privately adopted out Evelyn. NSW does not have state adoption records until 1921.
Evelyn is my Aunt.
Any information would be appreciated and would fill in a mystery in my ancestry tree.
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.
