Birth parents ?

submitted by Vrettoula Chirva on 22.11.2008


Hi my name is Vrettoula Chirva. My name before marriage was PANARETOS. My father (who adopted me) was Zaxarias Panaretos and my mother (An australian) is Theodora Panaretos. My papou and giagia were Vretto and Eleni Paretos and are buried in Potamo, where we have our family home. I have been in a desperate search for my birth mother or father for more than 40 years. Hopefully someone maybe able to shed some light on the situation. My birth date is 16th June 1956. My parents travelled to Greece to adopt me.

Thank you so much

Hello Vrettoula

Have you tried the following two websites that specialize in tracking down birth parents for Greek orphans?
http://www.butterbox.gr/ - Roots Research Center - Greece - Roots Research Centre carries out family searches based on the article 1559, Legal Law 2471/96, stating that the adoptive child has, after his coming of age, the right to be completely informed by his adoptive parents and from every qualified authority about the records of his biological parents.

http://www.greekorphans.org/ - Greek Orphans Birthright Center - “One Greek knows all Greeks”. Working together we can all have a part in bringing lost families together.

Good luck with your search.
