PLEASE HELP US PUT A STOP TO THIS SCAM!

I've created this website to invite all GivenRight.com Victims to come forward and tell their story.

January 19, 2010- What I thought was an impossible search has not only become possible, but a reality! Thanks to Kinsolving Investigations, I have been in contact with my birth mother and my brother.  They were both very receptive to me and I am looking forward to learning everything I can about them.  For those who are skeptable about paying a searcher to find your family... I can now tell you first hand after being scammed by another company that Kinsolving is NOT a scam! If you DO decide to pay a searcher, Kinsolving would be who I recommend.  They were professional and caring, and they provided me with my birth mothers name, address, and cell phone number. Also my brother's name, address, and cell phone number.  After 20 years of searching, I did not think it could be done.  Thanks to Kinsolving, it WAS done!  And I wish I would have found them a whole lot sooner!  I wish everyone who reads this the best of luck weather they hire Kinsolving or work with search angels.  Every adoptee deserves to know where they came from... And I'll keep you all in my prayers that you succeed!  Thanks!
7/09 UPDATE- You can see some of Jennifer Robinson's responses to the accusations of Fraud on ComplaintsBoard.com and decide for yourself.  Just go to that website, type in the company Givenright, click on the first complaint, and start reading.  You can jump forward by clicking the numbers at the bottom of the thread.  She claims she has some of our information, but refuses to give it to us?!?!  WHY?  The only reason is because SHE CAN'T!  She made up stories to get our money!  Look for yourself!!  Please come back and comment here or on that website on what YOU think.  Thanks!

Marie's Story:

I was adopted at birth in 1972.  In an effort to search for my birth mother, I registered on some websites.  I was contacted by Jennifer Robinson at Givenright.com On April 2, 2009 and told that she could find my birth mother in a matter of days and she does not charge unless she finds her.  I sent her my information on a Friday and on Monday, she called and told me she had my birth mother's name.  On Tuesday, she called and said she spoke with my birth mother and she did want to speak with me.  She went ahead and told me that...

Allison's Story:

I first talked to Jennifer in 2002.  This was before GivenRights was an actual company and right before her website was setup. I was pleased to talk to someone who also lived in Washington State.  My first phone call was awkward, for some reason she thought I was the police and she was cagy with me.  I worked for local gov't at the time, and had called from a Seattle number. But nevermind, I was still thrilled to talk to her. READ MORE

Jan's Story:

In August 2008, I was looking on websites trying to get information out there about my adoption. I received an email from a lady named Hailey Potter stating that she saw my info and wanted to let me know about GivenRight who helped her find her daughter she had placed for adoption 20 years prior. She told me I should contact them. Of course, I did contact them, almost immediately. I spoke with Alicia Purdy, and got the same story most on your website got; everyone at GivenRight had been on one side of the table or the other, READ MORE

I contacted Jennifer at Given Right to locate my birth mother. I had been searching for her for about three years. I sent Jennifer my non-identifying information and about a month later she told me she had located my birth mother but had not been able to talk to her.

Monica's Story:

I was searching for my Mother's Bilogical Mother who gave her up in Texas in 1950. I was contacted by Jennifer and really was excited because of her "knowledge".

Within 2 weeks of talking with her and her "researching" for us we paid her 600.00 via Pay Pal.  READ MORE

Kevin's Story:

I believe I was a victim of Jennifer. I have two friends that found their birth parents through her, but they were both born in Texas. I was born in Ohio. Jennifer gave me names and said she talked to her. The response was that she wanted NO contact with, she will sue, its was a bad time in her life and doesn't want to relive it. I was mailed some info about the woman. I decided to write a final letter thanking her for life at READ MORE

Brandy's Story:

I was contacted by a Patricia who claimed to have been helped by Jennifer Robinson. It actually scared me when she called and asked if I had been adopted. I thought she was going to say she was my birth mother. I then contacted Jennifer and she literally typed on her computer and apparently (maybe all made up?) was looking right at my original birth certificate. I knew my birth mother's first name was Carol or Carolyn  READ MORE

Tara's Story:

Jennifer found me I think, I cant remember exactly, but i was browsing internet adoption sites one day and i may have sent Givenright an email, and a few others just to find out basic information like cost and how it all worked, stuff like that, then Alicia Perdy her office manager called me and gave me the cost information and said they were having a "special" for the month of Feb. and it would only be $400 for the entire process...

I contacted Givenright on January 24th of 2008 to conduct a search for my birthmother.  It was clearly communicated that my search could be taken and successfully completed.  To initiate the search, I paid $200 up front and provided Alicia Purdy with the little bit of info I knew about my adoption.  I didn’t hear anything from Givenright for 1 week, then sent a follow up email.  Alicia promptly responded to my...

Ron's Story:

My daughter gave birth to a baby girl on Feb. 28, 1990. She was a college freshman, and I did not yet have a well paying steady job, after having to give up farming, so we decided, with reluctance, that it was in the best interests of the baby, and my daughter to place the child for adoption.  When the child turned 18 we began a long awaited search for her.  Iowa has closed adoption law that makes it very difficult to find adoptive...

Carol's Story:

I am adopted and I am searching for my birth mother and family. On or about December 26, 2007 I hired Jennifer Robinson @ Givenright Research to conduct the search. I paid her the initial $200 at the beginning of the search and when she claimed she had located my birth mother (who, she told me, had passed away in 1998) and 3 birth siblings, I paid her the additional $200. She told me that she made 4 phone calls to my... READ MORE

Matt's Story:

My story is the same as everyone else’s…$400, found mother but she doesn’t want to talk with me, etc.  Where it got really weird for me was this, when I told Jennifer where I grew up, she claimed her grandmother lived in the same town.  It is a VERY small town, and my parents and I know EVERYONE who lives there…and Jennifer’s grandmother doesn’t.  Later, she claimed to be a relative   READ MORE

Heather's Story:

Jennifer Robinson sought me out through an on line registry I had registered with.  I was in the process of hiring the adoption agency whom i was adopted through and Jennifer said she specialized in Texas adoptions and she had all the birth books and she could help me faster.  Jennifer said a lot of times the Adoption Agencies change information. Plus if they are unsuccesful you dont get your money back.    On October 12th, 2007 I sent Jennifer my first payment of 200. via pay pal with all my information she needed to get started...  READ MORE

 Judy's Story:

On May 14, 2008, I was contacted via email by Givenright.com in response to my post on adoption.com looking for my biological mother. I am adopted. Givenright (GR) said they would do my search for $200 up front and $200 once they found my information. I sent GR $200 that same day via Paypal. They stated they would provide me with weekly updates about my search. By June 5th, 2008, I hadn't heard anything from them so...  READ MORE

Erin (and Danny's) Story:

I contacted Jennifer Robinson last February on behalf of my husband Danny.  Jennifer assured me that she would find his birth mother since he was born in a Texas maternity home, and those were her specialty.  She claimed she too had a child she gave up as well as being an adoptee herself. Danny filled out the paperwork and I sent Jennifer the first $250 payment.  Two days later I called Alicia to make sure they had received all they needed to start.  She said she thought Jennifer had already found his birth mother,  READ MORE

Geene's Story:

I contacted givenright to do a search.   My first red flag should have been that PayPal would not take a payment.  Naively,  I sent a check.  When Jennifer contacted me after the check cleared she gave me a name, address and phone number of a boy supposedly born on the correct birth date.  I then asked Jennifer if she could contact him and if it would be an additional charge.  She emailed that it would not cost extra and she would "call tomorrow".  One month later I asked for status on her calling and some evidence that this was truly my son...

Mike's Story:

I was taken by jennifer or givenright for 400.00 and i cannot begin to tell you of the pain. To give all false info to me and tell me she had spoke to my mother, my heart leaped with joy when she had said all this. And to find out it was all a lie you cannot put words to the pain, you know i just wanted to tell my mom i loved her. If she is anything like me my mother that is, then she would want to know that i love her and dont... READ MORE
