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.

GBI signed up and paid. I signed up and paid.. then I cancelled on the same day. I can't get back in to make sure I'm not a paying member. I have re-registered and changed my password, gotten a link to re-register and everything, but every time I got to sign-in the site gets stuck on getting an authentication code. Can someone please verify my membership is canceled. Should I have to pay a whole month if I joined for a few minutes? Thanks D Thomas. A phone number would be great! **I'm revising my original rating from 2 to 5. The developer reached out and helped me in a very timely fashion. That's exceptional support, but I do hope they find a way for folks who are not members to contact them with questions or concerns.

GBAmazing tool! I definitely give Adopted .com five stars for being such a great tool for adoptees and birth parents to be able to easily use and search for their loved ones. Just put it in the information on your profile that you know, however limited it may be, and the site matches you to others that have uploaded profiles with matching or similar content! I did not know about this site when I was searching, but I now would recommend it to anyone who still is. I have successfully used it to help a friend find her child who was adopted. Once you send message, they have an advanced system that continues to let the connection know via email and other contact info you provided at sign up. It truly is very easy and invaluable in my opinion!

CAGreat site to match people the first time This is a great site with a defined math algorithm. I was able to find my birth father match and my sister match the first time on the site. This is more than a website and connection engine. The support team in the background helped me through this quick process. Katherine, the founder of the site exceeded any expectations and made my dreams come true ! I am now connected to my biological family ! Thanks adopted.com Sheri

GBGrateful for a whole family. I was able to connect with a half sibling who used Adopted.com to find our shared biological parent who then helped us reunite and put us in contact! I was unsure how to even start looking for a sibling whose birth information I really didn't have, meanwhile he was out there already doing the work. I'm grateful services like this exist to help make these reunions possible.
