Where to look for birth mother in Tasmania/Australia?

Question

Hi , I have minimal information of when i was adopted, i was adopted at birth in 1977 in Tasmania. My parents arn't really giving me any information at all at the moment which will help my search. I really only have my own date of birth to go by.... Are there any free australian sites to register with?

Answer 1

Hi Darl, You Could Try A Cite Called peoplesearch.com.au/Adoption_Search

I Don't Know How Much Information Is Needed But This May Be A Place To Start. Good Luck With Your Search Darl!

Answer 2

I thought Australians could get their OBC's...have you tried to get yours?  Then you'd have their names...

Answer 3

Hiya,

Records are open in Australia (YAY!!) - so check with the Tassie DOC's department - and apply for your original birth certificate (which will have at least your mothers name on it) - and make sure you ask for ALL documents pertaining to your adoption - you're allowed to get them BY LAW - so don't take no for an answer.

There are some costs involved for searches (which I don't agree with - as it's OUR information) - but once you have your original birth certificate - then you can check the electoral rolls etc - for free.

If you need ANY help - please contact me through my profile here - or you can find me (known as 'Possum') - and many other adoptees (for support or search help) - here -
