Searching for my Birth Son
Darling Son, I’ve been trying to find you for ages because everytime I think of saying goodbye to you in the hospital, I get upset and cry I’m so sorry that this happened, but my father wouln’t let me bring you home and your father didn’t want to know me after I found out that I was expecting you. Dear Son, I used to hold you in the hospital nursery and feed you your bottle as I wasn’t allowed to feed you myself. I really want to find you as there is no closure as you are in my heart. Love from, Mum.
Searching for my Birth Mother and my Birth Father
I was given up at birth and wasn’t adopted until almost 2 years of age... I was born with congential cateracts in which my birth grandmother, uncle and mother all had. I also have a degenerative back disease that I got later on in life when I was 38 years old. I believe my birth mother and father were in high school at the time of my conception and that is why I was given up. My mother has some italian and polish in her and my father was polish.

Searching for my Birth Mother and my Birth Father
I was born in Oakland. All I know is that my mom was Swedish and my dad was African American. I want to meet them I am very curious what they look like and what happened and why I was put up for adoption. I am not mad, but I am hoping to I could embrace the knowledge of my own family history. I am curious about them as I wonder if they are about myself.
Searching for my Birth Brother
I am looking for my maternal-half-brother. He was born in January 1958. He was placed in a childrens’ home run by the Victorian Government in 1963. His first placement was unsuccessful. His second remained permanent. The adoptive parents were a Presperterian minister and a nurse. He had a sibling via this adoption. This adoption may have been illegal, as our mother, has since been deemed as having Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome. She even put the wrong father on his birth certificate, which doesn’t surprise me in the least. Her reason - she couldn’t cope. Then in 1999, she set me up to steal my own son, in a very clever piece of deceit. My poor boy doesn’t even believe that I am his mum. I have not seen him since Winter 2003 - (Southern Hemisphere time), and am eternally worried for him, but am unable to do anything, due to the deceit and incomptence of the Family Court of Australia, which is dabling in illegal adoptions, contrary to the Adoptions Acts of Australia, which are governed by the states, not to mention that the Family Court of Australia is not catering to Special Needs people. I would dearly love to find him, and it remains one of my unansered prayers.

I am looking for my adopted son. I was very young when I had him but there isn’t a day that goes by I don’t think about him. He was taken into fostering before he was adopted.

I just need to know if my son is still alive and if he is happy. He has two sisters he doesn’t even know and they would love to see him.
