Working with and getting to know Pam has been and is one of the most incredible experiences of my life. When I started on my journey to find my birthmom, I was scared and afraid and was at a point of giving up. Pam is not only comforting and understanding, she is encouraging and compassionate all the while maintaining her professionalism and responsibility. Actually, she is like a mother to you. That's what separates Pam from the pack, she cares about everyone she works for, she just doesn't work for you, she cares about you and the outcome of your situation. We've become good friends.

Pamela Slaton helped me answer the biggest question that burdened me my entire life. Where did I come from? I had always wanted to find my birth mother, but I did not know how to go about doing it. Today, I have a wonderful relationship with my birth mother, as well as three younger sisters, along with aunts and uncles and cousins! I never understood the magnetic pull that blood relations had until I met them all. It is an incredibly real feeling and one that I never would have experienced had it not been for Pamela.

I had always put off having kids because of my "issues" with being adopted. Now, a year and a half later, my wife and I are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl. Meeting and getting to know my biological family changed everything in my life. I now know where I came from. You deserve to know your biological roots. You deserve to have closure in you life. Pamela Slaton can make these things possible. I know you are wondering if you should take the plunge and do this. My advice is to go for it! I know I'm glad I did.

I cannot recommend any researcher more highly than Pamela O'Brian. Two years ago, I hired her to try to find information about a cousin of mine who had, in 1928, been "given up" for adoption. With virtually no information to go on, other than an approximate date of birth, within a few weeks, Pam managed to not only get her birth name and birth date, she also was able to locate info regarding the family that adopted her. Pam also tracked this lady through two marriages, and, to finalize the process, managed to locate her, where she was now living in the mid-west. My cousin never knew anything about her birth family, but now, thanks to Pam, my cousin's been reunited with a whole group of relatves, as well as a niece and nephew she never knew. If Pam can find someone after 76 years, whose name had been changed three times, and who, as a child, had been relocated to the mid-west, she can find ANYONE.

Hello everyone. My name is Chris. I am going to try and give you a brief synopsis, if that is possible, of my journey to find my wife's birth mother. Let me tell you that I searched and used many different companies. I spent an insane amount of money with the same results....NOTHING!! I am a New Yorker and very skeptic to begin with so this did not help the situation. Then one day I was given a website, which brought me to Pamela.

I checked out this entire site. It seemed impossible to find someone with this much integrity. I relooked through the website again and again. I thought I was missing something. Where is the catch? Where is the scam? I could not find anything. So what did I do? I called Pamela. We had a great conversation and she explained to me that if she does not find my wife's birth mother or the next of kin.....There would be no fee. I asked for a contract. Pamela e-mailed it to me and we began our journey.

When Pamela began the search, she recommended that I speak with her instead of my wife because it could be a very emotional journey. I spoke with my wife and she agreed. Pamela did let us make the final decision. Our search began on 07/12/05, and I provided Pamela with limited information on my wife's birth mom and siblings. Pamela provided me with more information on the first day then I received from all the companies I tried prior. No, we did not find anyone the first day.

Pamela and I had numerous phone conversations during this search. I was shocked, someone in this business is actually working. I felt like I immediately formed a friendship with her. She was actually putting her heart and soul into this search. She cared! When I realized the passion Pamela had, I automatically gave her my word to provided her with my total cooperation. If she asked me to do something to help....no matter what it was.....I did it. I forgot to tell you that my wife was adopted at birth, right from the hospital. My wife is my entire life so this was the ultimate priority.

After about three weeks of ups and downs, Pamela calls me with some info. Remember not all information is good. Pamela informed me that she found information on my wife's birth mom. I was extremely excited. Pamela gave me the news as though she was telling her best friend, with the dignity in class. She told me the birth mom had died many years ago. I thought great, I now must tell my wife. Not something I was looking forward to do. Pamela asked me if I was alright. I said yes. She then told me that she was not finished. She then told me that my wife not only had two sisters but three. Pamela then told me to give her some more time to find them.

About two days later Pamela called me. She provided me with the names of all three of my wife's sisters and their addresses and phone numbers. We made contact with them on Aug 1, 2005. Your probably wondering why my wife is not writing her story. My wife's story is just beginning. She has not had a minutes rest since Aug 1, 2005.

We had a family reunion on 08/14/05 with my wife's sisters. It was very emotional and fun. By the end of the day, you would have thought that they knew each other forever.

I would like to leave everyone that reads this with a few thought. In todays world it is hard to find someone that is honest, trustworthy, and passionate. If you find someone like I described that would without question be Pamela. I am proud to call her my friend. If you were wondering...I am not on her payroll. Please feel free to contact me via email at laurentravel@optonline.net If you want to talk and ask questions, leave your phone number.

Pamela, Lisa and I can't thank you enough.
We love you.
