GBAdopted.com really CAN WORK Adopted.com really CAN WORK! My (new) sister in law posted a long time ago, I found her/our match in the system, I pursued contact through the private messaging system and now have a new big brother and he has a mother and 2 new brothers! At 50 & 60 years old I can attest that it’s never too late to try!

GBReunited with my Birth Daughter! This site led to me reuniting with my birth daughter. She posted on a facebook forum and I had my profile in this forum for a few years. A person that saw my profile and her post linked us together. We were in contact within five days after my BD put her search post out there. She lives fairly close, we have already met in person and talk every day. She has quickly developed a close relationship with myself and my two older adult children. Do NOT give up! Keep your profiles active with as much information that you have about the adoption! It was the non identifying info shared that stuck in the mind of the person that came across the both of us and led to our reunification. I never, ever thought this would happen....and it was WELL worth it.

GBFrustrating lack of support I've tried for days to setup "Felicia1992", but the site never sends the verification email. I wait the required hour and try to get the email again but nothing is sent. Even worse is the unavailability of online chat or other responsive support. It looks like a great site but it's no good if you can't register/verify. Update: I've been contacted by the developer of Adopted. I'm up and searching, and very happy with the service. Still, if I hadn't complained so publicly there'd be no solution to my problem. I hope they fix the site to allow non-members to reach support. My problem was solved in minutes with the help of their excellent support.

GBRidiculous Match - Money grab based on hope? I would give zero if I could. UPDATE; Following this review I was contacted by the CEO(?) of the company based in Canada who was concerned about my review. Well done for the follow up - I expressed how hurt I had been and suggested changes to how post results. She asked me to add to my review following the call - I am a bit late but that is because I thought instead of being put throught the emotional turmoil I would employ an adoption tracing company - this cost a lot (money) but was emotionally totally different.

GBI found her!!! A friend recommended that I join this site when she learned that I was searching for a daughter I'd given up for adoption. When I created my profile, I found 6 potential matches. I sent messages to all 6 and got 2 responses. It took about 2 years because I was not a frequent visitor of the site. Of the 2 responses, 1 was definitely not a match. The other had basically the same information that I had surrounding the adoption. Which was minimal to say the least. We then decided that she would take a DNA test. I'd already taken mine. And the results were a match. According to DNA analysis, parents and children share approximately 50% of DNA. My daughter and I share 46.5% of our DNA. It's a match. I am very grateful that she was looking for me at the same time I was looking for her. Or I may not have ever found her. Thank you Adopted.com for making this happen.
