Woman searches for child's father, 13 years after romantic Queenstown liaison
Thirteen years ago Kerryn-Leigh met an Australian named Rodney in Queenstown.
Nine months later she gave birth to their daughter without his knowledge.
Kerryn-Leigh, 52, a jewellery designer originally from Christchurch but based in Perth, has taken to social media to search for Rodney, so her daughter, who is about to celebrate her 13th birthday, might finally know who her father is.
Mother Kerryn-Leigh is looking for Rodney, the father of their 13-year-old daughter.
A Facebook post by Kerryn-Leigh, who wants to keep her family name private, made on Friday has been shared more than 13,000 times and attracted international media attention.
Kerryn-Leigh said she was living in Queenstown at the time and worked at the Brazz on the Green steakhouse.
She met Rodney while he was in the resort town on a three-day snowboarding trip with two friends named John.
Rodney had recently broken up with his partner, who he had a two-year-old daughter with, and was feeling a bit down.
The story went "two broken people got together one night", Kerryn-Leigh said.
She gave birth to their daughter a few weeks before her 40th birthday, but with only a first name she gave up on looking for Rodney.
"I was (almost) 40 years old with a baby in my arms with a man I didn't know.
"I was coping with what I had. I would have let him know. He deserved to know," she said.
Fast forward 13 years, and her daughter was pressing her to find out who he was.
After some advice from a friend, Kerryn-Leigh decided to ask for help to find Rodney using social media.
"No-one knew I was going to do it. I just did it."
Kerryn-Leigh wasn't going to tell her daughter – "I didn't want to get her hopes up" – but the post started to go viral.
"She's a bit excited ... She is embracing it all. If nothing comes of it, she knows I tried.
"All we really want is a picture of her dad. Then she's actually got a real dad," Kerryn-Leigh said.
She described Rodney as having long scruffy hair, which was fair and slightly reddish, and between 170cm and 178cm tall.
He lived on the Gold Coast and she believed he was a surfer.
"My daughter has the most amazing blue eyes. I'm assuming Rodney's are blue."
She believed he would now be aged in his late 40s.
Since Friday, Kerryn-Leigh had been contacted by several women with friends named Rodney living in Queensland, but no men had come forward.
She was grateful for the help from everyone on social media.
In her post, Kerryn-Leigh said, "We want nothing from him ... I just need to do this for her (sic)".
