About
Sande and Lance were both born and adopted in New Zealand during the Baby Scoop Era (1945-1973). Sande was adopted in 1954 and Lance in 1967. Their adoptions were closed-stranger adoptions, whereby their records were sealed following their adoptions and new birth certificates were issued with their new identities.
From the time that adoptions were recorded in New Zealand (starting in 1919) over 130,000 children have been adopted, the majority through closed-stranger adoptions.
