181. Denelle1967 : I’m trying to reconnect with my birth mother Christine Bright‚ I met Christine as well as my half sister named Kathy and my half brother named Ramon when I flew to Melbourne mid December 1995 and stayed with Christine for a week ‚ due to a personal family death I lost contact with Christine and havnt had any contact or been able to find a d reconnect with Christine‚ Kathy and Ramon since then
182. DebRWal : I am searching for any old adoption records for Beryl Read‚ born either 1909 or 1910. Adoption could have been by the surname Matthews and may have taken place either in Western Australia or Victoria. Possibly was a ward of the state for the first three years.
183. LizJessie : Hello all.
My mother who passed away in 2017 was adopted. Since my father passed away at the end of 2023‚ I’ve been on a personal mission to find out any information on my mothers bio family. My mums birth sister and her husband have reached out to me and we keep in contact sporadically.
My mums birth name : Debra Bransby
DOB : 19th November 1959
Where: Perth‚ Western Australia - Not sure of exactly where‚ but it’s in WA and that’s as much as I know.
186. Swanny1974 : I have been in contact with my birth Mother Janina Bullich‚ not my birth father Stewart Clark- I can’t find any record of him. He was from Narrogin in Western Australia
187. KristyButcher : My brother whom I am searching for was born to our mum Barbara Martain (DOB 1/3/1950) in 1971 near or at Fremantle hospital‚ our mother then became a Butcher by marriage after the adoption. Our fathers name is Robert Butcher (DOB 19/8/1952)
Our mother named him Darren Troy Martain or Butcher at birth but I believe that may not be his first name but you never know. I don’t have anymore information but I hope this will be a great start to finding him
188. George1965 : A long time ago a letter from some post adoption agency was sent to me. Someone from my past was searching for me. It took me a long time to respond & even then‚ I never followed through with connecting with this person. This is something I have been SO sorry for‚ but I think‚ maybe I wasn’t ready. I really hope this person understands that now‚ I’m want to connect and will.
189. Denisemarypryor : My name before adoption was Denise Gwenda Lyons(lions) and my mother’s name was barbara. I don’t know who my real father was but my mother married Bobby Lyons after my birth I think. I was born in Castlecrag Sydney NSW but was told the adoption was finalized in WA. I would like to contact any siblings I may have and my mother if possible
191. Griz66 : I’’m looking for 2 brothers that where born in the 1940s‚ living in the Northam WA area between 1965 & 1970. One brother was married and a police officers while the other brother worked as a clerk for the railways in Northam.
A close relative I found with DNA who’s mother Maria Haslberger was living in the Northam area. In 1969 Maria was involved with a married man who was a police officer. She had a daughter called Leanne in Corrigin 1970.
My biological mother Gail Hampson (Braithwaite) was living in Northam. Working as a shop assistant. In 1965 was involved with Bill Roy Cassidy of View Tce in York. He was a clerk with the Railways in Northam.
Another possibility????
Trevor (surname unknown)
Lived in Chidlow or York St in Northam 1967
Thank you
192. Samanthaapulu : I am searching on behalf of my mother.
Her birth certificate indicates she was born in Geelong Victoria June 20th‚ 1970) however this date may have been altered. Her guven name is Nerida. Her adoptive family have connections to both Victoria (Geelong) and Western Australia. My mother is of indigenous heritage confirmed by blood work.
Any information would be so helpful in hopefully connecting my mother to her family
193. Robynescotney : I am trying to find a cousin that was adopted out at birth. Most likely born between January - July 1967.
A Little girl born at St Annes Maternity hospital‚ Western Australia.
Her Father John Peter Cuming (my uncle and my mother’s half-brother) was tragically killed in a car accident 3rd May 1967. He was 18 years of age. Her mother was of a similar age if not slightly younger. If it weren’t for the accident my mother suspects there would not have been an adoption‚ but her mother was extremely young. We think her name might have been Judy Bennet (or something like this) possibly from Redcliffe - though my mother’s memory isn’t completely sure of this.
My maternal grandmother desperately wanted to adopt her‚ but the nuns at the hospital wouldn’t allow it.
I have been slightly obsessed with finding this long-lost cousin for years as I am of a similar age. I have been registered through jigsaw for several years.
I would be so thrilled to find her.
195. Krissy93 : I am the daughter of Nicole‚ birth name Samantha Batt. We have spent many years searching for her birth parents and this year started taking it more seriously‚ we are awaiting her original birth certificate so we don’t have much to go off. the information we currently have is her birth mother was English‚ around 18 (?) and my mother was the result of a short relationship with a possible truck driver.
All the details on my proifile reflect my mothers‚ I am just managing the account for her as she is anxious as to what we could possibly find.
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.
