What you need to keep in mind

The moment you find your adopted child is unique, special and sometimes emotionally overwhelming. However, there are a few things all searchers can keep in mind when they connect with their loved ones. It's best not to approach your son or daughter with any preconceived expectations. Try to be understanding and unconditionally cherish the joy of your reunion. Be sensitive to the emotions of your child and his or her loved ones who may be affected by the reunion.

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 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!

My sister and I found each other after 57 years. It was confirmed with DNA and she also met her biological Mother. She was raised and still lived in the Washington, D.C. area. Thank you for providing a search engine to track adopted relatives.

Nearly 4 years ago I was reunited with my beloved son through Adopted.com. We have since developed a close relationship. I have such a respect and admiration for his adoptive family. They are my heroes. July of this year I was blessed to have a beautiful granddaughter and I was able to be a part of it!

Daniel

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.

Rachael

I was a member of several adoption search websites and facebook pages. It was a message left on Adopted.com that resulted in first contact with my son! We are having a great time getting to know each other and each other's families! Thanks for providing a great place to make connections!
