Adoption Stories

At Adopted.com, we understand the deep desire for connection and the powerful emotions involved in adoption reunions. Every day, we hear adoption stories that touch our hearts and remind us why we started our online database in the first place. These adoption success stories highlight the journeys of individuals and families who have used our platform to find each other, reunite, and begin new chapters together.

I've been reunited with my brother that was placed for adoption in 1967! If he hadn't listed his date of birth and his mother's name from his birth certificate on Adopted.com we never would have found him!

I have found my daughter!  I got on adopted.com on Friday about 8pm. I had 6 matches‚ I sent out 3 messages and my daughter Karen was the first one to reply. By 9pm we were emailing each other. She looks just like me. I can't believe this has happened. Thank you adopted.com for this successful reunion!
