Recipe for Success in your Search
First gather all the facts about them.
List everything known at the time you begin to look including:
-
Full NAME (if known)
-
AGE/birth date (if unknown, guess
about how old)
-
LOCATIONS/city/state where they
were last known to be.
These three (3) solid pieces of information
gets them found most of the time. The more you tell us, the easier it will
be to find them.
If you are looking for an adoption,
a missing birth family or birth child, get the non ID from the agency they
were adopted from or the state. With that, we might be able to find them.
Then line up your 'ducks' , make a list
of the facts. Send everything the first time, don't send it one fact at
a time & say I have more later. I'm not a mind reader or a Swami.
I need the details.
Post them where it counts, on adoption
related sites like:
G's Adoption
www.gsadoptionregistry.com
The Seeker
http://www.the-seeker.com/relative.htm
The searchers, like us, can see it &
try helping you.
SPELL things correctly, if you can't
spell, get a dictionary. We spend more time trying to figure out 'what'
your saying, than we do finding them, with bad spelling.
If you get a reply from a 'team of searchers'
like us, hit "REPLY ALL" & send back the 'original text'. We do hundreds
of these and can't be expected to remember your email address or the details
or your name for that matter.
If it is a Medical Emergency for an
adoption/adoptee to save a life, fill out the form on EMLA’s website:
