  • You ought to accept the fact that your natural parents don't want to be found. Move on, become rich and everyone in the world will claim you..
  • No, there's no legal way.
  • I live in Brisbane and a lady I worked with for many years did not even know that she was adopted, until she applied for a passport. Upon finding out that she was adopted, she went to look for her real mother. I believe that she contacted the Salvo's whom run a free service called JIGSAW. They eventually tracked down her real mother. I do not know if the mother had ever signed ' never to be contacted '. They did meet and all turned out ok. I would expect, that when you give a kid up, you may sign anything, just to get a life of your own back again and I would also say, after many years, the parent may regret that they signed such a thing. If you need any help, that I can assist you with, please email.
  • Yes there is, but can I warn you there are many pitfalls in tracking down your natural parents. I was adopted when I was about three weeks old, and spend about two years in a baby’s home before being adopted into another family. Firstly, get a copy of your birth certificate that will have your parents surnames. Through the "freedom of information" act you can trace where your birth family came from. Whether looking through old school records, births and deaths, the phone book if it's a small town, it can be a long and hard road, but there will be contacts either through relatives or family members themselves. I was luckily in a sense because I was born in a small country town. Someone I know found her parents who lived in Sydney. It didn't turn out as planned. Parents adopt children for a reason, and most of the time it's not a happy story. It can come as a complete shock to a family that a brother or sister is apart of the family, but that person has been "covered up" for all those years. Often this opens old wounds and creates a great deal of confusion for other family members. A sad thing too, is that the parents might have died before you found them. I would talk it over with a close friend before heading down that road. It is very hard, emotional and could have only rejection at the end of it. It may however, be an introduction to brothers and sisters you never knew you had. I was lucky enough to get to know my Dad before he passed away. I have been welcomed into the family with open arms and keep in regular contact with all of them. They where aware that a child had been sent to Melbourne, but never knew the rest of the story. I wish you well on your search.
  • this is very hard trust me on this, i was able to find my birthdad but it did take me 2 years to find him. and i had no idea, where he was i only had his name and one picture of him. when i talked to him the day after i turned 18, he said when he had me at 19, he said that he would then never want to be contacted. i'm sure once your leagal, you can contact them, or at least their parents, but in my case, my birth dad and his wife, are the only ones on his side of the family that know about me. but collect as much information as you can, on your parents, and then decided if you want to cantact them. its your life you have the right to know who you are, you can do the whole legal thing that you have the right to know who you are and medical history as well. good luck.
  • These days here in Australia we have a legal right to our original birth certificates. We also have a right to genetic and medical information that may just save our lives. Just because a veto has been signed doesnt mean that you lose these rights, it does mean that you need to be very careful about how you go about things. Good luck, everyone has the right to know who they are and where they came from.
