Search terms for the "Find A Family" search engine

Bronze members may choose up to 7 search terms to uniquely identify your listing. Please provide your search term choices upon registering.

Visit the Find A Family page to see the search terms currently in use. You can choose search terms from whatever categories you'd like and do not have to be listed in every category. If you think of a search term not currently in use, please let us know and we will add it to the seach engine at no cost to you.

The following are examples of search terms:

Category: Family Type and Adoption Wishes

Families with children
Families without children
Single parent families
Multiracial families
Families wanting to adopt multiracial children
Families wanting to adopt twins
Families wanting to adopt special needs children
Families wanting to adopt older children

Category: Area, State or Country

Area of the world in which you live
Area of the country in which you live
State in which you live

Category: Activities

Type of pet you have (Dog, Cat, Horse etc.)
Hobbies (Music, Arts & Crafts etc.)
Recreation (Sports, Music, Travel etc.)

Category: Lifestyle, Religion or Heritage

Lifestyle (Live in the Country, City, Seacoast etc.)
Religion (Catholic, Jewish, Christian, etc.)
Heritage (Native American, Irish, etc.)

Category: Occupation(s)

The order in which your name(s) appear in the category listings will be changed on a regular basis to provide a fairness impossible to attain by traditional advertising methods (newspapers, for example).

If you are hoping to adopt a special needs child, toddler or older child you can use the extra search terms FREE in addition to the regular 10 term maximum. Just let us know if you are interested when you contact us.

If you have asked us to add a new term, its almost always no problem. However, we reserve the right to combine your new search terms with existing terms if, in our opinion, no value is added by the new term you propose. For example, if you proposed "Location: USA" we would not accept that because essentially all of our Birthmothers come from the US, and so, this term does not uniquely differentiate you from others.
