Adoption Search Angels Don't :
Adoption Search Angels achieve miracles when they volunteer. But they do not:
- Do research for minor children(under the age of 18).
- Make contact for a searcher if the Search Angel is not a professional intermediary.
- Pressure any individual to make contact once the lost family is located.
- Should not charge for their services. (Volunteers can ask for reimbursement for phone calls, copies, postage, and bus fare or for any other legitimate expense incurred while doing the search.)
What Not to Expect::
- All of their time! Search Angels are more than likely helping many different people at the same time, so please be respectful of their time.
- Do not expect them to cover all costs of the search. Again, they can ask to be reimbursed for services outlined above.
- A happy and quick outcome. Do not begin any search if you are not ready for the answers that may be found. Be prepared for anything and everything.
