How We Operate

WHY WE RUN THIS WEBSITE:

It is simply exhilarating to receive an e-mail from someone who has found a long lost loved one, to receive a thank you from someone who you have been able to help in a small way. News of a mother finding her child she gave up for adoption many years ago, or to receive a phone call and be told that "My husband's life has been completely changed since he found your website". To give hope to someone who has been searching for many years and does not know where to go to next.
It is exciting and extremely satisfying, when you receive mail and telephone calls as above..
See our "E-mails and Letters from Members" page.

HOW WE RUN THIS WEBSITE:

Adoptees, Birth Parents, Grand Parents, Brothers and Sisters who are searching for a biological family member, advertise on our website for a fee of R50, ($20 USA) by completing our online form. CLICK HERE  We then add ALL the information to our personal database. (to which only we have access) and then also add your advertisement to the website.

WHY PAY A FEE AND WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR R50:
 
The reason why you need to pay a fee of R50-00 ($20 USA) to be included on this website is to cover the costs for telephone calls (often overseas), and other expenses that we have for running this website.
Once we have received confirmation of payment from the applicant,  we add the advertisement to the website, which can then be seen all over the world. 
Remember! The person you are searching for can reside in any country, anywhere in the world. Many people around the world read our website and find that their adopted child, biological parent or sibling is searching for them, ( see our "Successes" page) they then e-mail us or phone us and advise us that they are the person mentioned in your advertisement on the website. We then contact the advertiser.

Once we have added your advertisement to the web page, you will receive an e-mail from us, confirming that your advertisement has been added to the website. We will also send you FREE information including, where the file regarding the adoption is kept, how to obtain the information, who to contact, who the best people are to help you with your search, other institutions that may have information, how to proceed with the search and any other information we may have. 

Your file normally contains information about your biological parents, or who adopted your child. Adoptees or biological mothers, can then arrange for assistance from the abovementioned people and departments with their search. This help has been extremely successful in the past and is NORMALLY FREE.
 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON IS FOUND:

When a person who someone is searching for, contacts us we will immediately telephone or e-mail the APPLICANT or the person who placed the advertisement, and advise them that the person they are looking for us has made contact with us.

When contact has been established with both parties, and after confirming that we have a "TRUE MATCH" arrangements are made for a reunion or for contact information to be  made available to both persons.

A fee of R300 ($55 USA from other countries) is payable by ANY ONE OF THE PARTIES for, contact details that we have on our computers. Once we have received confirmation of payment, ALL CONTACT DETAILS are made known to all concerned.

If the applicant has changed their telephone numbers and / or their e-mail address without letting us know, (This does happens) we will try to contact them by writing them a letter, sending them a fax or try to find them by any other means.  We will do everything in our power to find them, as this is our main aim, to reunite people affected by adoption.
