A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Western Cape Who Chose To Be Featured
271. StevenVanDenVyver : I am hoping to make contact with my birth mother Maria Cornelius Van Den Vyver who stayed at the Mary Rolt Hostel in Mowbray‚Wynberg and gave birth to me at the Peninsula Maternity Hospital in Cape Town on 16th November‚ 1954. I was adopted within 10 days‚ by a Jewish couple and the doctor who co-ordinated the adoption was Dr. H. Savadier of Rondebosch. My birth surname appears to be spelt on some documents either as Van Den or Der Vyver.
I discovered‚ by chance‚ at the ageof 30 that I was an adopted child. I am now 67.
273. Martinmmsmith : I am looking for my husbands father. He already met his biological Mom. Our sons would like to know if there are any nephew’s and nieces‚ and or course they want to know about their grand parents as well. The story we have from my husbands adopted parents‚ is that the father initials was M.M.M. Smith. His adopted mother also said that she remembered the fathers address as Stellenbosch.
Church street number 10.the impression what we have is that the adoption was done on certain terms. Example‚ the pregnant mom stayed in a home for pregnant mothers and the fathers family paid for that costs. There was also mentioning that the father was the son of a farmer‚ which did not want his son to marry the pregnant mom. They were both very young. The sister of my husbands adopted father knew more about the adoption. It seems that she did not want us to know who the father was. When my husbands father died‚ the same aunt took me to a separate room after the funeral. She asked me if I want to meet my husbands real grandmother. Of course I wanted to.
There was not much words and moment was kept short.
I always thought afterwards that perhaps his real mother was at that funeral also. The adopted mothers name is Joey. I cannot remember her surname or age. My husband met her a few years back after I managed to found her.
My one son‚ 28 years old‚ recently became depressed and distressed about the idea that his surname is Muller‚ but his blood is not Muller. He never thought about it in that way. He now has the same urge as my husband to know where he come from. He was also diagnosed with glaucoma at this young age. We wondered if this is perhaps a family illness from the biological parents.
And me as a mother‚ my boys blood family is out there and we would love to meet them‚ of course only if they were willing.
274. Chaneljade1274 : Hi I’m looking for my birth mother Kathleen Albertina Johanna Pretorius birth date 16/01/75 we have been seperated long ago when I was still little and I would like to find her
275. Sarah-leigh95 : My name is Sarah Leigh i am 26 years old will be 27 years in october.. I am looking for my biological father who i was told his name is Carl Crabtree but i have never seen him or even seen a picture of him ever. My mother says he was a very absuive person and when he found that she was pregnant he told her he wants nothing to do with her and that he hope she and her baby dies. But i have recently been diagnosed with Gilbert’s syndrome which affects the liver and doctors say they only way for me to have gotten it is through family members and no one on my mothers side has got it which means it must be from my dads side so now more than ever i really would like to me him and find out who he is and if we have anything else in common.
276. Leighleighhamilton : Searching for my biological grandparents. All I know is that my mother Penelope Jane East was adopted by Eileen Hamilton Kerr and Michael Walter East in Durban‚ South Africa. I don’t know the hospital she was born nor her name at birth.
278. Latoyaarendse : hi i gave my son up i work through a agency call pro care in cape town He was born in mowbray maternity hospital the year 2002 he was born the 08 november 2002.

I did request by the agency if i can meet him but no answer up until now. Please assist me
279. SLP80 : I was told I was born in Pinetown‚ Durban. I believe my mother‚ Tegwen Bevan‚ became pregnant after seeing a man at work. He was made to give up his rights and Tegwen’s husband‚ David‚ adopted me. This is all I know.
280. NFlorist : I do know my biological mother but she won’t tell me who my dad is. I really would like to know who I really am. Her name is Mymona Abader and I was born Sumaya Abader. The spelling of names may be incorrect.
281. FindingManual : I am looking for my brother that was born before me. My mother has been looking for him ever since he was taken away. He was 4 months old when this happened. His birth name was Manual Jose Leonard Da Camara. His birth certificate number 9201015201085. He was born at Somerset hospital in Cape Town. I heard a rumour that his name was changed to Isaak.
284. AnnelizeUys : I was born at George Hospital on 9 April 1970. The CMR handled my adoption at the time. CMR no longer exists‚ files were transfered to BADISA.
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.
