This
Website was created to assist people who have been affected by adoption ,
and who have connections to South Africa,
Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, Botswana and other African Countries.
After much searching on the
internet, and failing to find a South
African site for searching adoptees and searching biological
parents it was decided to create this website.
This site was not created to
help answer questions of people affected by adoption, but to put
information onto the internet regarding their search, and to supply
information about government departments and other information, which can
assist them with their search for their biological relatives around the
world.
All of us DO want to know
were we come from, who our ancestors are. Do we have brothers and sisters?
Why we were given up for adoption? What does my mother look like? Where
are my parents? There are millions of questions going through the minds of
adopted people and the minds of biological parents, in South Africa and
all over the world.
Birth Parents and especially Birth Mothers
never stop wondering where their adopted child is, does he or she have
food, are they still alive, what do they look like, the list of questions
is endless
Jack Kotzè started this
website during October 1998 after reading about a biological mother in a
local newspaper who was searching for her adopted son. He was found by the
Welfare Department of the city concerned. Permission was obtained from the
adoptive parents for the biological mother to be reunited with her son.
However! A few days before the reunion the arrangement was cancelled. The
biological mom was devastated.
Having lived with a biological mother whose son was also adopted 34
years earlier, Jack knew what these woman were going through. This made
Jack decide to start this website, to help other people in their search. |
