A discussion area for anyone who has been personally touched by adoption and wishes to trace/share their heritage information; genealogists seeking biological/adoptive family information to include an adoptee on their family tree; for other interested parties; for those helping others to seek information; and for the sharing of guidelines for searching public records. NO searches for minors are to be posted (under the age of 18). We are here for support and to express those built up feelings but please be considerate of others. It is my belief that it aids in the healing process for those personally touched by adoption and enhances the fun of hunting for genealogists to do as much as they can on their own. We love for those who have completed their search to stay with us and share your experience. This can be informative for those searching. We welcome those who have been reunited who can use some support and would like to share their experience with others. It can be very helpful to those ready to make first contact to hear from others how they handled it or how they might do something differently.

Professional searchers and businesses are not to be promoted via this list. If you have a problem with that, you probably should not subscribe.
