Find Your Birth Dad
Finding your biological father can be a difficult and complex process. Even with a name, it can be hard to find people through social media networks or directories. That’s why we use an innovative search process to help you reunite while respecting the privacy of both you and your dad, using any information you have.
How to Find Your Biological Father
If you don’t know much about your birth dad, such as his name or where he lives, traditional search methods can often lead to dead ends. Fortunately, you have other options. As a voluntary adoption registry, Adopted.com can help you find your biological dad or other birth relatives who can connect you to him.
You don’t need your birth certificate or your official adoption records to become part of our registry. All you need to do is answer ten simple questions, designed especially to be the points that everyone knows about their own adoption situation. Based on your answers, we identify potential matches with over 1 million other profiles in our database.

What You Need to Keep in Mind
Searching for your birth dad can be a unique and special experience — and it can also be emotionally overwhelming. Our best advice is to pursue your search with an open heart and a rational mind.
Don’t assume your biological father doesn’t care for you or doesn’t want to see you. At the same time, don’t assume the opposite is true.
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 father with any preconceived expectations. Once you find each other, try to be understanding and unconditionally cherish the joy of your reunion. Be sensitive to the emotions of your birth father and his loved ones, who may be affected by the reunion.
