 Adoption Reconnect
 

          

 
A South African website providing a forum for family members to reconnect.  Our purpose is to provide a place where adoptees and biological families post information in their search for each other. 
 
Make use of our database to let the other person know you want contact.  See the Hints & Tips and Resources pages for some practical advice. 
 
This website also includes Zimbabwean, Zambian & Swaziland adoptees and/or biological families.
 
How this service works
 
An adoptee or a member of the biological family sends us details via the Submit Request page (see page for further information).
 
  • We will then
     post the information, which is free to view by anyone. 
    Any information that is provided (other than that which is posted) will remain strictly confidential.
  • If a reader then contacts us, with a claim of a connection, we will request contact information from them.
  • With their permission, we then contact the party that placed the posting.  The contact information is passed on.  We strongly advise that use is made of a counsellor for the reunion. 

 

It is always up to the individual parties if they choose to make contact.
 
We are aware that sometimes individuals might feel unsure about making contact right away - if so, please use an intermediary to acknowledge the other person.

Internet searches can be successful
 
The volunteers managing this site are a biological mother and daughter who reunited via an internet website.  See 'About Us'.

 

 

 

 

Due to certain unscrupulous people, individual contact information is no longer shown.  Changes will be soon be made to the website to include member registration, which will allow members to directly contact one another. 

 
  

 

Your Story

 

A page has been added to the website where searchers tell their story.  It gives some insight into the bland lists that appear on our 'Searching for' pages.  If you would like your story to be considered for publication, send an e-mail to Info@AdoptionReconnect.org.
