I 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.

Nikki is brilliant and I cannot thank… Nikki is brilliant and I cannot thank her for her advice and support and just for caring. It is great to have a person there to help, whenever you need it. Thank you again Nikki. Just hope tomorrow brings all of us at #TeamBen the news we have been waiting for, for such a long time. The good guys have to win sometimes x

Adopted.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!

Amazing 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!

Found all my biological family! Found my biological mother thanks to this site. It was years after I made my profile (and honestly forgot about it, because I didn't want to pay to search for people). However, I'm thankful she paid because she found me right after making her profile! She messaged me, found my biological father on Facebook, and now I have a whole second family, including 6 siblings.
