418. AdriRonelVanStaden : Dear Archivist‚
I hope you are well.
I am writing to request your assistance in tracing records relating to an adoption that took place in 1973.
My late mother‚ Adri Ronel Van Staden (Date of Birth: 3 September 1954)‚ whose maiden name was Van Staden‚ gave birth to a baby girl at Magdalena Huis in Cape Town in 1973‚ and the newborn was placed for adoption. At the time‚ my mother was 19 years old and still a minor‚ and I understand that my grandmother‚ Maria Matilda Juanitha Van Staden (Date of Birth: 21 December 1930)‚ signed the adoption papers.
Unfortunately‚ no records were found at Magdalena Huis. I was advised that any records that may still exist‚ or information about where they are held‚ might be available through the Western Cape Archives in Roeland Street. They referred me to your office for further assistance.
The information I have is as follows:
- Birth year: 1973
- Place: Magdalena Huis‚ Cape Town
- Child: Baby girl
- Mother’s maiden name: Van Staden
- Mother’s full names: Adri Ronel Van Staden
- Mother’s date of birth: 3 September 1954
- Grandmother’s full names: Maria Matilda Juanitha Van Staden
- Grandmother’s date of birth: 21 December 1930
I am my mother’s biological son and am willing to provide any documentation required to verify my identity‚ as well as documentation relating to my late mother and grandmother‚ should this be necessary.
I am very eager to connect with my sibling and am fully prepared to follow the correct legal procedures and requirements to assist with this process. I understand that adoption records are confidential and that access is subject to legal restrictions. I respectfully request any guidance you can provide regarding the appropriate process and whether any records or information may be available.
Thank you for your time‚ consideration‚ and any assistance you are able to provide. I sincerely appreciate your help and look forward to your response.
Kind regards‚
Charel Schreuder

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.
