I have rang the adoption agency but they wouldn't gv me my biological surname, so I cant obtain a original birth certificate. I found a small note when I ws a kid, it was with a "my story" letter that I believe was written by my parents anyways it had a maori name on it ) I think it said "Waerehu" but not sure) when I asked the adoption agency if my birth surname was Waerehu and if the spelling was correct, they wouldnt gv me a yes or no. I do know tht my birth parents had afew kidz and tht I have mainly sisters which is pretty funny coz in my adoptive family I have none. Im really sorry if I have tried to contact the wrong whanau, but if any one could help I would like to know where my roots come from. Thank you.
