Adoption Records?

Finding your loved one can be a difficult and frustrating process. Many people start their search by looking for adoption records, but quickly realize that:

Adoption records are often closed or sealed.
The information you know, such as location or first name aren’t as identifiable as you originally thought.
Finding an adoption record alone may not lead to a communication method.
There is no way to know that your search is mutual.

At Adopted.com, we know that there is a better way!

How to find adoption records

The idea for Adopted.com originated in 2005 with a search where the records were not available.

It occurred to us that it should be possible for people in this situation to meet one another as long as the desire exists on both sides.

Everyone answers the same questions. Now that we are the largest Adoption Registry in the world, your chances of finding a match are significant.

Dorothy

I have found my entire family. Unfortunately my biological mother has passed in 92‚ but I have an Uncle & Aunt‚ several cousins‚ a brother and 3 sisters!!! Won't even get into their extended families. Thanks for everything. I am starting to feel whole again!!

Kate

Fairfax

My partner's birthmother was a match here, but she hadn't checked the site in so long, and initially we couldn't get a response. The site was diligent in trying to make contact using several different methods. Support staff were understanding and dedicated. Thank you Nikki and Katharine! Patrick met his Mom last Saturday!

Melanie

Virginia Beach

I found my entire birth family on here. 37 years we have been apart! Thank you for this website.

Diane

Chesterfield

We did not know my husband even had a son until a couple years ago. We tried some of the free searches but was disappointed that the match was wrong. We decided to try this site and withing a few days we had a match. He is an awesome young man and we look so forward to getting to know him.

Brenda

Augusta

I had 5 possible matches. I began messaging‚ and the fourth match was indeed my son. He has lived within 40 miles since the adoption. I recommend this site wholeheartedly. How wonderful and how quick. And to think I almost gave up. Stick with it! We are so happy!

Daniel

Moorhead

I have been searching off and on for a possible biological son since 2009‚ and found him recently due to a message he left on Adopted.com. He is extremely similar to me and my other son‚ and looks a lot like me! These past few days have been the best ever.

Margaret

American Fork

This has been the most remarkable experience! I actually found my son within 24 hours of my registering on the website!

Eric

I found my birth mother after 50 years‚ and found out she was looking for me all this time! Thank you Adopted.com.

Daniel

5 minutes after I joined this site‚ I found my birth mother! We're going to have a grand reunion in December‚ where I will be able to meet my biological family! This site was very‚ VERY helpful!

Roger Smith

Tucson

Its hard to write this with out crying. I became a member of Adopted.com late Sunday evening and got a match. I knew immediately that it was my daughter because she looked so much like her birth mother. By Tuesday evening I was reunited with my birth daughter. It has for ever changed my life. Thank you
