We strongly believe that what we are doing is a much-needed service, that it requires total focus, and that our consortium has the knowledge and resources to do the best job possible.  

We are aware that many services advertise a "No-Find-No-Fee" policy.  However, we are expending the same effort whether it leads to a happy reunion or just a name that cannot be traced, so ours is a flat rate for each search.

We will always put forth a total effort in your search, and will let you know when we feel we can go no farther in solving your mystery.

DorianData does a substantial number of pro bono searches, as our contribution to the Adoption Triad.  This is in keeping with our belief that individuals have a fundamental right to the information that exists about their families of origin.  Where there is an inability to pay, combined with a genuine "need to know," we will always try to assist at a reduced rate or will waive our fee completely.

We have a copy of an index of Miami-Dade adoption notices that were published from the mid-1930s through the mid-1980s.  We always initially search for your information there AT NO COST, and if that is sufficient information for you to then complete your search, you will not be charged at all.   

Our normal fee is $15.00 - $25.00 per hour, plus expenses such as transportation, record copies, document charges and database charges.  (We will not add surcharges to these corollary amounts; whatever we are charged will be passed along to you.  We will be happy to furnish documentation of those expenses.)

We accept payments made by Money Order/snail mail or via PayPal.  If you wish to use the PayPal option, please bookmark this page in your browser and return here to click on the PayPal logo below.
