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!!

Kate

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!

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

Diane

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

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

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

Roger Smith

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
