Were you born 07.10.71 Timaru NZ? Then it could be you my brother and I are looking for. Our mother reluctantly adopted out a son at this time and we are now looking for our brother. We know little about you but we are very curious as to who you are now and how your life has been. We would love to make contact with you. All replies go direct to my email.

Hi, Just interested to know how your search is going? Have you been looking long. I am looking for a boy born around the same time as your brother and i never realized how many dead ends there would be. I thought I had found the mother - same age, same name, looked the same - but after contacting her i found it wasn't her. Now I know there are two women out there with the same name complicates things. Have you had any luck on anything?? Are you thinking perhaps he is no longer in NZ - I am searching in Australia also. Perhaps if we swap info we may let the other know if we come across the others missing boy.

I know little about my brother. Just that he was born at timaru hospital on that date and that he was adopted by someone involved in law. I think it strange that he hasn't tried to look for his mother which makes me think a lot of different things. He could have passed away or may not have even been told he was adopted you know how it goes. He would be in his 30s now and we are just so curious. While I'm here I am going to make a few inquiries with the local adoption agency and see how I go there. It would be easier than trying to do it from Australia. Your situation is frustrating. I will ask my mother if she remembers the name of your nephews mother and see if she can think of anything that may help. If you have had any contacts you think maybe relevent to my brother please let me know.

Hi again,
I have been thinking about something you said - that he may not know he was adopted. It is such abig decision if we find out lost boys and they don't know - what do you do then??? I am looking thru all the Ansett records in 1970's to try and find something. If you would like to send me some details on your mum and the father - anything so I would recognize your boy if I come across him looking. Isn't is amazing to know we may have a whole new family out there - nieces and nephews. Wow, my brother may be a grandfather!

Have any of you searched the Oz or NZ electoral roles? Searches in either country should never need to be so difficult since records have been opened. It's just a matter of applying to the Department of Community Service or its equivelent for the sought persons name and then looking up their most recent address on the rolls. If they are married its a matter of applying to BD&M for their married names. That said, only the mother or adoptee have a legal right to apply for identifying info.
