What is the average age people start looking for their birth parents?

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...

The age that people make a decision to search can vary. The average age according to the research is about thirty for both men and women. So it's quite late. But that doesn't mean to say that an 18 year old won't try and locate their birth relatives or birth parents. And neither does it mean that people over the age of 50 or 60 don't want to find. So the age they can be any stage of person's life.
