will stick with dna websites - as my 9 100% were not close at all...

It says you have a 100% match so you pay the money to see the match and it’s not a match at all. It’s just a way to get you to pay the money so don’t bother!

Ditto Bill Smith's first one-star review. You give specific info (such as birth date, hospital, city,and state) and they entice you to spend $20 to see 100% matches of people who have not stated that much info. Then you send those 100% matches a message asking to clarify their date of birth, for example and you find it was an entirely different date, or in my case 67% of the people I messaged never bothered to respond. On top of that, you can't edit your message sent nor add a second message to encourage a response. While is not really the fault of the site that some people are jerks/whatever who sign up to find a lost birth relative and then never have the courtesy to respond to a potential match, it is the fault of the site that you can't send additional messages. And it's their fault for listing as a 100% match someone who has only listed sketchy info that obviously does not match your info. And their 90% matches are a joke. What good are 2000 listings of people born in a different town, different state, or on a different date from the info you enter? Maybe I'm supposed to pick out a female born to someone else in a different state two years later and try to convince her that she's my wife's long-lost daughter? Makes no sense. I'm not asking for or expecting a refund--I paid my $20 and took my chances, but I sure as H ain't gonna make it $40!

Update: My previous review was 1 star based on what I felt to be misleading search results. I still feel the matchmaking system is misleading as a profile can be created with vague information, leading you to believe you have perfect matches waiting while in reality they are far less than that. The reason I am changing my review however is that recently the site owner replied to a message I had sent, outlining my disappointment, and issued me a full refund. I certainly cannot claim an individual that chooses to provide me a refund without any cajoling or threats of action to be anything less than honorable, and as such I am obligated to update my feedback to reflect this. Based on this I can only conclude Adopted.com is genuinely interested in providing value to their clients and the reality is some individuals simply will not have luck in this.

search detailed many 90% accurate matches. After paying to see the matches turned out to be NOWHERE NEAR my search parameters. I would label this as a scam. Subscription cancelled within 10 minutes. AVOID.
