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.

644. Jacknfaye : Looking for my adopted child born in the Frankston hospital approximately 1964 1965 to a Faye O'Sullivan who was currently living in Chelsea Victoria at that time.
The father name is John Wilson from Brunswick West.
645. Jacknfaye : I am seeking to find my adopted child who was adopted out approximately 60 years ago. the child was born in the Frankston Hospital in Victoria to Faye O'Sullivan and father John Wilson.
I was not told of the sex of the child‚ my motivation to find my adopted child is to satisfy that the child had a loving and satisfying life which I was denied the opportunity to do.
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.
