| Hi, I am Annette,
I was adopted in 1953.
You, like myself, may think you were adopted because your birth
parents did not want you. This is not always the case, and many
birth parents are also looking for their children, who may have
been given up against parental wishes. |
 |
| Whatever the reason, we are where we are today. Birth
parents and adoptees alike. Looking for our past. |
| |
We all have this longing to know our roots. What
are our parents like? Do I have any Brothers or Sisters? Birth parents
wondering what their children look like, are they married, did they
have children?
I was lucky, a sister of mine, a sister I had no idea I had, contacted
me. She had been raised in Canada. |
| We had never been connected together by the agencies
because, although we have the same Father, we have different Fathers
on our birth certificates. |
| So as you will see with this register, it has the
father's name on the birth certificate, and also natural father,
if different. It also runs in alphabetical order from each of these
names. Hopefully this will make it easy to follow. We have a separately
listed date of birth register -this also shows some of the successes
we have had in finding family members.
I will help you in any way that I can.
If you have any questions, or would like to know how to be a part
of this register, please contact me. |

Important Notice:
Due to new legislation that came in to force
31st December 2007, Adoptees contact line is no longer able to give
intermediary services.
Adoptees contact line makes no profit from this site, so cannot
afford to comply with new registration requirements, and will be
closing soon.
Thank you for all who have supported me, I wish people luck in their
quest to find their roots.

Having children is a mind-boggling responsibility.
Each child has unique challenges and blessings. Each situation has potential for travesty or truth. Each parent has opportunity to nettle or nurture. However, we aren't expected to parent alone. God will guide us and lead us as we care for his lambs.

So, what are some tips that we can use so that we can raise up our children in a godly manner. First of all, we need to uplift our children in prayer. Prayer is our channel of communication to God. Without communication,we can't follow His direction. Second, we can model godly behavior. Children model what they see. If you have ever heard your child play house, you'll think that you were the one playing by the words that are said. Children are great mimickers. Third, we need to live up to the baptismal vows for our children. We promised to raise them up to know the Lord. We need to do that to the best of our ability. We need to be there to get them to Sunday School, church, bible class and whatever else is available to teach and nurture our kids.
Our children are not our own, but as long as we are here on this earth, we have a responsibility to raise children to know and love the Lord. In Mark, it is stated that Jesus told his disciples to "Let the children come unto me." Jesus valued children and knew their potential to further the kingdom. We, as parents, are key players in the future of God's kingdom, beginning with raising godly kids.
