Victoria Adoption Reunion Registry

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.

607. AdrienneRae88 : I am looking for a sibling that was born and adopted many years before my sister and I were born. We found out about this child from discussion with our extended family. We are unsure when‚ or where the baby was born‚ but the birth mother’s name is Barbara Baumann‚ and she was born in Dec 1960. We believe the birth and adoption would have taken place sometime between the years of 1975-1987. I am unsure of the name of biological father’s name as it was not the same as my biological father. We have been told the baby was a male‚ however‚ we are unsure.

611. Fiona_Jackson : I’m searching for children of Brian Jackson aka Brian Lake. Lived in Melbourne Australia‚ but he traveled a lot from what I’ve been told. It sounds like he was the Oprah of sperm - you have some‚ and you have some‚ and you have some‚ but didn’t stick around for the responsibility part. Children would have been born from maybe 1965 onwards. So far we are three with knowledge of a definite one more but doubt it stopped there.

612. DavidLC1949 : Birth mother was Marion Landrigan. Searching for sister‚ named Margaret at birth. I was born afterwards in 1949 and also adopted out. We have another sister‚ Patricia‚ who was raised by our mother. Margaret may have connections to England and Canada. Believe she stayed with the nuns until age 4 or 5 in Melbourne until being adopted out.

613. Tessamf0 : I’m looking for my half brother‚ his birth name was James and I believe his adopted parents gave him the new name of Ryan. I believe his adoptive mother was a nurse. I have tried to connect previously but had no success‚ not overly looking for a connection but wanting to share medical history details of our birth mother.

614. AnneGreenall1945 : My mother’s name was Anne Greenall (born 27/12/1945) had a son when she was 17 (1963?) that she adopted‚ possibly from Berry Street. However‚ they had no registry of mum being there. I have filled out a form with AIS but not heard back you. I believe mum met with her son in the early 2000s but we didn’t learn about our half brother until a month ago. Mum passed away in 2020.

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.

My partner's birthmother was a match here, but she hadn't checked the site in so long, and initially we couldn't get a response. The site was diligent in trying to make contact using several different methods. Support staff were understanding and dedicated. Thank you Nikki and Katharine! Patrick met his Mom last Saturday!

It turns out my birth mother passed away in 1987 but her family knew of my birth and adoption! I have spoken to several of them. Many of the biological extended family have shared photos and memories. This journey so far has been a very positive experience!
