This book is next to useless, unless you have done absolutely nothing in your search. Most of the info in it can be easily found by any beginner by searching the 'net. If you see it and are impressed, it means you have not done serious searching yet.

I believe this is a re-vamp of an older version which credited Troy Dunn and Virgil Klunder which sold for the outrageous price of several hundred dollars... back around the time he had the pay per minute "talk to a search expert" phone banks, and charged $1500 per search. Troy is now on TV in an emotionally manipulative reunion program.

Whatever the price is for this book, save yourself the money, get online and learn to search yourself and with a support group. You'll learn more and have more money in the long run.

Although I haven't finished the entire book yet, I think it'll be very helpful in locating the person I am searching for. The techniques are very good ideas and tell you everything from how to get started down to making contact and actually meeting for the first time. It was delivered to me practically the next day!

The Locator is an excellent source/guide for adoptees searching for birthparents. The locator provides examples of letters to be written to obtain information you might not otherwise get if you mention adoption. They even offer their services for searching if you hit roadblocks. Also The Locator suggests websites to try. I ordered a used copy and it was in excellent contition. If the need arises again I will order from Amazom.com.
