Searching for and
reuniting with family members you've never met can be a time-consuming,
daunting, and emotional process.
As part of its
mission to support members of the adoption triad, PACER
offers a variety of resources to people thinking about or
in the throes of an adoption search and/or reunion.
Those resources
include articles:

groups involved in various aspects of searching:

People embarking on or
in the middle of the search-and-reunion process can also

groups and
adoption-related events.
