I am 22 year old female searching for her biological parents/family. Unfortunately there are not many details surrounding my adoption. All I am aware of is that I was abandoned at a train station in the Western Cape where I was then taken to Christine Revell children’s home in Athlone. There is also another story in which it is said that I was brought to the police station by a woman who filled out incorrect contact information.
184. Tashnika : Not sure when he was born but he is my younger brother. My mother passed away‚ her name was Natasha Ferdinand and my birth name was Ronita Tashnika Ferdinand.
I don't have a lot of information but I hope just a name helps. Mom passed away when I was 5 and I know family friends adopted my brother. I've been trying to look for you my whole life.

Born in Cape Town on 18th April 1968, Born by biological Mom June Kate Webb and given up for adoption. Please contact me.

195. ShereenW : Olive Wiehahn Steyn? Children: Patsy? John? Monica.
Hi, searching for my mom’s family from Cape Town, South Africa. Monica Steyn Wiehahn (Petersen) (Pfaff), now 80.
Her mother Olive.
Her younger sister Patricia (Patsy, red hair).
Her brother John (youngest, blond, raised by the Isaacs in Woodstock, RSA).
Family had to split up in around 1942. Olive flew to Scotland when Monica, Patsy, John were about 6, 4, 2. Olive brought Patsy, 2, back from England soon after.
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.
