Narelle is 26 years old and lives in Melbourne, Australia. She's a Social Worker working in Foster Care and intends to one day work in support and advocacy for donor-conceived people.
Narelle was conceived by "sperm donation" at Prince Henry's and was born in September 1982. She knows that her donor code is T5. She also knows some non-identifying information about her biological father at the time he donated, including:
- He had a Maltese surname
- He was married
- A student
- Blood type 0+
- Had dark brown hair
- Brown eyes
- Weighed around 13 stone
- Was around 5ft 6" tall
Narelle also knows that she has 8 half siblings as a result of her biological father's donations. They were all born between 1982 and 1985.
Narelle enjoys singing and has had lessons since she was 6 years old. She is a very passionate person and is currently living in inner Melbourne with some friends. She loves trying new food and eating out. Narelle is interested in reiki and other alternative therapies. She is looking forward to travelling to Malta to see some of her relatives and to other places in Europe next year.
She found out about her donor-conceived status when she was 15 and has been searching for information and her father ever since. She respects the fact that he might have not been properly prepared for the fact that his potential offspring may be curious about him and does not wish to cause him disturbance. Narelle feels as though knowing more about her father would help her personally a great deal. She does not wish to replace her dad who raised her, and she wants to stress that she is not after any kind of material or monetary gain.
She is curious about whether her father shares her interests in music, food, travel and other things. She would like to see if they share physical and/or personality traits.
If you have any information that may help Narelle, no matter how trivial it would be exceptionally gratefully received via e-mail: searchingformyfather@jaguarpaw.co.uk.
