Within facebook i have set up a page called looking for someone the reason i have done this is because i have an unknown father. i have used every available forum , noticeboard i can think of and so far i have no answers. but whilst doing this i have been so surprised at the amount of other people who are missing parents or someone else from their lives.

my name is amanda i was born on 20th june 1972 in newcastle my mother was judith boswell from garth street edgeworth nsw .Her parents were VI and Geoff She went to west wallsend high i think she only attended there until yr 8 she was 16 when i was born .My mother has never revealed anything to me my birth cert has no ...information re my father .the family name of Jackson has been mentioned and the nick name Bear.and the name horst was mentioned it was a nickname and may be his surname also.MY mum hung around with Dianne Watt from edgeworth I have very little information on who my father could be . we lived in the wallsend area while i was a toddler.I am not after reasons why my father did not want me in his life or how i happened to come about i may have been concieved while she was a student in yr 7 or yr 8 he may not even know i exist.AS i have very little information to go on any thing at all you may know to help me get closer to results would be of great help or if you know of someone who may know please forward information on thankyou amandabozy@hotmail.com

There are a number of areas you may choose to research, firstly start with vanish they are very supportive connecting family members and providing you with your birth certificate and more. There are hurdles to overcome, some will bring greatness others not so all dependant on how well you receive them. You have much information at your hands, let google, the library to seek details on the school your Mom went to and also check out the location your Moms friend went to I believe every stone is worth collecting along the way.....You may find some people recall your Moms friend and some elderly neighbours may still exist adding to your journey.

I hope you embrace the journey well and your whether your dad chooses to meet you or not you find a connection through either your Mom or Dads family, friends and neighbours to share your story with. Two people who created your good worth know the reason for their departing. As difficult as it may sound sometimes people by choice do not want to be found I hope this is not the case with your Dad.

Hi Amanda, I know how you feel as I don't know who my father is either. My mother did tell me the name of a man that she swears black and blue is my father, but after about 20 years of searching and finally writing to this man, have two (2) dna tests costing over $1000, i find out that he is NOT the one. I was devistated as he is a really nice man and I have made a friend of him, he even came to visit me in Perth last year and he came to meet my family, which was absolutely lovely, but it still remains that he is not my dad. As my mum still says it's him and why would she lie to me, I find that I don't have any other avenues to go down, so I may never know :o(

While I very much understand the anguish of wanting to reunite with a missing member of family; my father left when I was 5 and I am a relinquishing mother, be cautious as it does not always work out happily. I tried to find my father in my early 20's and was warned by his brother that it was not a good idea. I do wish I had of made more effort though as even to have witnessed that he was not good man is perhaps better than having no memory of him. I also tried to find my son and we did meet. It was great for a short time but after his marriage I must have said something that hurt or upset and he has broken contact altogether now. I still am hurt especially for his 3 brothers.

hi amanda, i wish you all the best in your search for your father. my mum and my stepfather gave a boy up for adoption nearly 40 years ago. recently my half sister told me she was interested in finding this man. we will probably start with the hospital he was born at. it is difficult as we donot want to upset our parents in this search but if my sister does manage to make contact it would undoubtedly open up a new chapter in our family. i didnt know my father until i was an adult and looked him up in the phonebook when i was 20. it wasnt hard as he lived in a small country town. sadly though he was a dissapointment and i was able to understand why my mother kept us away from him growing up. i am very grateful to my stepfather who has been a great dad.
