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.

reunion

Wow! I have been looking for years. Within five minutes of subscribing and logging in I was in contact with my sister. My match was in the 85% category. I'm so happy! Feels good to finally have the missing link to our family. Can't wait to hug you.....

reunion

Luckily my birth mother and her dear friend set up an account on Adopted.com. Within minutes of becoming a member and starting my search‚ I found who I thought was her and left a message. The next morning I woke up and checked. Voila! It was her friend that set up the account and put me in touch with her. In less than 24hrs I found her with your website. Thank You!
