After using/paying for the site for one month, I am
A little disappointed because of their monthly fee of around $20 and the limiting factor of just their members database. Although they show over 1 million profiles, this is a global service so that number is high but not that high.
The Main Bad thing about the site is the $20 monthly fee will charge every month till you cancel.
Because I know many of us don't cancel such fees after 1 month of use like we should.
It is easy to cancel though if you are disciplined, just $20 isn't bad. Plus it looks like you cancel early and still use it for the full month you paid for.

There are some good things about the site.

You can create a profile for free and you can pay for a month and then cancel. While you are a paid member, you can search and contact similar opposing profiles.

You build a simple profile of who you are looking for with the information you have.
Then the system shows possible opposing matches in their system of other members. You manually look at the possible matches sorted by how much of a match it is.
You contact the possible match through their e-mail system and wait for a response where you get a notice in your e-mail letting you know you have a reply in their system e-mail.
The site is well done and it is one way you might connect with your natural parents/child.
I did receive a reply from a few members who were not exact matches but I sent them a message just in case.
One of the profile replies shared with me some helpful info about how in my state, the adoption records through the courts.

So this site is useful and you might find who you are looking for there. But both parties need to create a free profile and at least one of the parties must pay for at least one month so they can search matches and contact the other party.

The newest modern way to find someone is opening the adoption records by the adopted or both parties doing dna testing to find each other.

Best of luck.

Tip for consumers:
Consider opening the court records if you are the adopted and it's allowed in your state.

Otherwise, do a DNA test and also the adopted.com site:
Do the free profile.
Consider doing 1 month membership so you can look for opposing matches.
