Mutual Consent Assures The Person We Find Wants to Meet You Too

It can be a scary proposition to look for a birth parent or adopted child. What if the birthparent doesn’t want to meet? What if the birth parent has kept the adoption a secret and doesn’t want to reveal their past? Or on the other side, what if the adopted child doesn’t even know they are adopted? Or what if the adopted child has no interest in meeting their biological family? Café Connect is a registry that allows both searching parties to find each other. When the match is made you know you are both looking and willing to connect so the vulnerability piece is taken out of the picture.
