Is it a good idea to employ someone to search for my family?

Julia Feast (Search and Reunion Consultant) gives expert video advice on: How do I start looking for my birth family?; Are the birth family able to search for an adopted child?; Why do people decide to search for their birth family? and more...

Some adopted people aren't able to conduct their own searches for various reasons, and in those circumstances, it's important that adopted person can go to an adoption support agency or the local authority to find out what resources are available to help them search. The local authority or adoption agency may be able to recommend somebody that they could use to help them locate the birth relative.
