Here are a couple of possibles if her given names were changed:

STEPHENS Kenneth Brian born 1940; Rita (nee Wykes) born 1943; Timothy Brian; **Tracy Anne born Nov 1968**; Penny Jane; travelled per AUSTRALIS departing Southampton on 12 April 1973 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme

STEVENS Brian Lawrence born 1939; Heather (nee Forbes) born 1939; Tony; **Samantha Louise born December 1968**; travelled per aircraft departing UK on 28 February 1971 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme

Unfortunately these are common surnames!

Nyx, I think that unfortunately non-family members can't add their names to the adoption contact registry.

You remember me. :)

Hi Megan, also, edit your first post to put the actual information in the subject line.

Rachel Jane Bagley, born 1968, adopted

(and leave it as "Rachel Bagley" in the body of your message)

That way, if she ever googles her name, she is likely to find your message here.

Do you know the 2 people who have Rachel in their trees on here? I assume so given the surnames.

You could add a 'postem' on to her birth reg on freebmd.org.uk also, put an email contact address in the message.

If born in Southampton she is reg as Rachel Jane, have you put your name on the adoption contact register? https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to find a cousin of mine she was born December 1968 but was put in a children's home in may 1969 she shared a cot with my mum they were both put in the same children's home in Southampton sadly they were seperated.

Her birth name was Rachael Bagley we believe her to have been adopted by a stevens /Stephens family. Not sure what year she was adopted we also have been told she may have been taken to Australia.

We really need to find her. She has a sister looking for her desperately and us and a big family waiting to find her!

Any information would be greatly appreciated
