About USA Adoption Registry

Our promise

No one should have to pay to find their family. Core registry services—including registration, searching, automatic matching, contact requests, and private messaging—are free.

What we are

We are a reunion registry. Members voluntarily submit search information and choose how visible it may be. The system compares compatible records and helps members communicate without immediately revealing personal contact information.

What we are not

We are not an adoption agency, child-placement service, DNA laboratory, private investigator, government registry, law firm, or emergency service. We do not determine legal parentage or guarantee that a possible match is biologically related.

Principles

• Consent before contact.
• Privacy before growth.
• Clear explanations instead of mysterious match scores.
• No paywall around family reunion.
• Respect for people who are searching, undecided, or not ready for contact.
