Whether you need a leap of faith or a gentle push in the right direction.

Your search for biological family begins with one decision - to try.

Wherever you are in that process - just starting, stuck at a dead end, or ready to submit - Search Angels can help you move forward. Here is what you need to know before you do.

What Search Angels Provides

We identify biological family connections through expert DNA analysis and genealogical research. We provide you with names, documented relationships, and biological history based on our best findings.

What you choose to do with that information is entirely your decision. We do not contact biological relatives on your behalf. We are researchers, not intermediaries.

We also do not locate individuals whose identities are already known, and we do not take cases solely to reconnect estranged family members. Our work focuses on resolving unknown biological identity through genetic genealogy. At the close of most cases, our volunteers make every reasonable effort to provide whatever publicly available contact information may help you take your next step.

A NOTE ON PRIVACY AND MINORS

SearchAngels.org respects and protects the privacy of all our clients, especially minors and their adoptive parents. We are not legally allowed to work directly with anyone under 18 or the statutory age of consent in your state. For those trying to find minor children, we recommend using our Reunion Registry only after the individual has reached legal adulthood, has taken an AncestryDNA test, and is actively searching for their biological family.
