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.

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!!

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!

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.

I filled out my profile and had a match to my birth parents that same day! We connected on Facebook and talked for a while to confirm that the match was accurate and it was! We are all very excited to get to know each other!
