Believe me it's genuine, and I've tried all the Avenues.
So why did you post the same message under 2 identities?
I think Don's covered everything - did he mention the Salvation Army?
The Salvation Army will not normally become involved in searches where
adoption has taken place, nor with enquiries to trace a mother or
father where there was no marriage between parents.


But as I have explained many times before, the whole 'missing persons' area is so vast that the responsible organisations do not compete with eachother. There is too much to do. In practice it doesn't matter how unsophisticated you are in making a choice of organisation. If you picked one not appropriate to your particular problem within the field, they will refer you to the one that is appropriate.

The appropriate organisation will also tell you what you could and should do for yourself which economises on the use of their charitable funds.

It can all be found out by some simple googling. If people allege they have been searching for ages, and have been using a computer in the search, that implies they could have done, or have done, a few minutes googling and follow up of the sites they find. So why come on here at all when they know it is the wrong place anyway? It stinks, from the off.

exactly Don

I only did one of these cases on the request of an aquaintance
and got the answer within 24 hours by googling

I made a very careful and tactful approach as a third party

and a couple of emails later found another sibling knew about the adoption and the mother who had been searching for 15 years for her lost baby

this is one search I will neither blog nor add to a tree
