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.
A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Victoria Who Chose To Be Featured
676. Sub1480 : We know Barry has deceased early this year but we have no documentation about his adoption circumstances.
677. WendyannCorlett : I believe l was born in Myrtleford‚ Victoria to Veronda Evans she was 16/17 years old. My grandmothers name was Betty(annie)Evans. I was adopted by Judith and Darrell Brooks of Niddrie‚ Victoria.
680. Lydbean : I am the niece of the adoptee. My grandmother had a baby out of wedlock and was made to give it up for adoption by her dad. My grandmas name is Margaret and her maiden name was Robertson I believe. My grandma is from Brisbane/QLD and I know she was sent to Darwin for the pregnancy and to give birth‚ so I assume that would be where the adoption took place.
681. Bigfoot123 : My father was adopted. I have been estranged from him since 1987. He and my mother divorced. I have been told he is currently living in Mundubberra Qld and that he has cancer and dementia and has changed his name from Robert Lindsay Thompson to Dozer Thompson. My mother is unwilling to provide me with any information about my father which is breaking my heart.

Was sent to a nunnery in Melbourne to have my brother where he was sent to an orphanage as a newborn- I learned these details nearly 20 years ago.
Kim is my father. I DONT KNOW DATE OF BIRTH OR DAY OF ADOPTION - just had to give an answer
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.
