If you are searching in New York State and have decided to hire a searcher, 

Ellen Goodeve may be able to help you!

Ellen is an adoptee who found most of her birth family in 1992 and just recently in February 2006, found her brother. For the past 14 years has been helping others with their searches. As with most who help with adoption searches Ellen does not feel she can charge for information that is "rightfully yours" to begin with, BUT her TIME is valuable to her and she needs to charge a reasonable fee for searches that she does.

Ellen will do her best to complete your search, but she is only human and has not yet figured out how to perform miracles. It is very important if you chose to hire her that you provide her with all the information that you have accumulated even if you think it is insignificant. There are times when something you think isn't important could be the key to completing your search!

You will find Ellen to be friendly, professional and she will document the steps that she has taken in completing your search and you will receive copies of any documents that she finds pertaining to your search. As owner of the NY Adoption List I highly recommend her! Her service is one that has been needed for a long time.

Ellen is a member of the Triangle of Truth Support Group in Syracuse and a former member of the NY Adoption List. Ellen also works under a Private Investigator and has many resources, not only for adoptions but any type of investigation.

Ellen can be reached by e-mail at EllenGoodeve1@hotmail.com
