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!

Melanie

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!

Robyn

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.

Penny

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

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.

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!

FAQ’S

How long does it take to search for my birth mother?

There are many instances where people find their birth parents instantly on Adopted.com, but sometimes it can take longer to receive a reply.

Why use Adopted.com to search for my birth mother?

Finding your birth mother through Google or Facebook is more difficult and can be a tedious process. The main reason social media and search engines aren’t reliable is because factors that are relevant to adoptions are not often shared on social media or public profiles. Moreover, searching for your birth mother requires a more complex and specific search algorithm like the one we use at Adopted.com. Answer ten simple questions to the best of your knowledge and we will compare your responses to more than 995,639 profiles, giving you an instant report of how many match your responses and to what extent.
