ParentFinder.com?
Has anyone chosen to use parentfinder.com? Our agency has a relationship with them and we can advertise a profile there, but I think it's rather expensive. I would love to hear from of your feedback on the site!

Re: ParentFinder.com?
We used parentfinder for both of our adoptions and we love it, the cost for the level of outreach they provide and the help reaching expecting moms was amazing. Highly recommend parentfinder
We were with an agency for 2 years with few showings or little exposure. SO we looked at and actually signed up for several of these types of web sites. Little did we know the actual extent of outreach Parentfinder provided. THe other sites basically get your profile and it sits there. Many you could not even update your information or it was difficult. But we received many calls from other agencies saying the parentfinder showed we matched one of their birth mothers by more than xx%. At one point I think we had planned to talk to 3 different birth mothers on teh same day. Unfortunately we were not a match for any of those but over the next 2 months we received many more inquiries and could see hundreds of people reviewing our profile. 3 other site had one email that was surely a scam.. Anyhow after about 4 months we were matched. They also helped us get on social media and even helped us write articles about our adoption journey that got some national attention. This place knows what they are doing and they were so helpful as there are a few things on the site that were not intuitive but they helped us through them.
We paid for the big package and have recommend it to everybody we talk to...Can to tell we thing these folks are great. It was started and is staffed by adoptive parents that have gone through this. We like that.
I think it is important to look at your goal?make a family
Look at how rich the site is in terms of the tools it offers you, the visibility it offers you, and the size of their reach...nationwide?working 24/7 for you. You are going to find that ParentFinder is by far the best on the market. Then compare the cost?$90ish for the basic and a bit more if you go all in?big picture is that expensive? No.
Fries are less expensive than a salad, but which is better for you??that?s the way I look at it?I hope that helps....best wishes!
