I am very proud to announce that I have been working on a new TV series for OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. If you think that you would be interested in telling your story as I guide you through your search please go to www.pamslaton.com and fill out the online application.
My name is Pamela Slaton and I am an adoptee
who, with scant information, discovered my birth
parents over a decade ago. When I first began my
search, there were barely any services
available
to those looking for clues. After
discovering my birth
parents, I started volunteering my experiences to
local adoptee support groups before being hired as
the New York contact for a major adoption finder
agency. I soon became disenchanted with the
company's ethics and decided to strike out on my
own using a"no find, no fee"(click here for fee range)pay policy, which I believed would help re-establish
trust between clients and professional searchers.
I have successfully solved adoption searches all
over the world, but specialize primarily in New York
City cases.
I am emotionally invested in my work because I have
been in the shoes of my clients. I realize that there is
a lot of anxiety and fear when a search is undertaken
I like to view myself as a support system to my clients
through the search process. First contact is vital in
setting the stage for a good reunion and it is
important to be prepared. I also help guide my clients
through their first contact via phone or letter.
All contact made is done with the highest level of confidentiality.
Over 90% of my cases go very well. I have solved over 2500 cases to date.
I highly recommend that anyone searching be prepared for a gamut of emotions. Even the most joyous reunions can be complicated. Searching takes mental preparation so that you can assure yourself that you are able to accept any outcome. There are a ton of books out there that give insight into the experiences of adoptees and birthparents.
I am often asked why I involve myself in this type of work after enduring a disasterous reunion. I love what I do wholeheartedly. It gives me great joy to witness my clients having the opportunity after years of searching to finally have closure. The excitement of listening to a happy reunion is something that I never get tired of. My last thought is that I ask that you never you give up. I have witnessed the most impossible cases come together. I truly believe what is meant to happen will as long as you are persistent.
Good luck to you.
Regards,
Pamela
