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.

540. Jachcogo : Hi‚ I’m looking for an older sister (my only full sibling) who was adopted due to my mum being very young. I’m not even sure it was an official adoption. I believe born in NSW and might have grown up in NSW or QLD. Likely born within 1980-82 (give or take a year or two). I have very limited information. I’ve done DNA testing on ancestry.com and one of my half siblings have done it on 23andme as we are hoping to get a match.
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.
