This individual has not been satisfied with smearing the reputation of myself and my company across the internet, but has also lodged a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau as well. The BBB did a thorough investigation and received several documents proving that we had fulfilled our contractual obligations and provided the information that was paid for, thus the complaint against us was dismissed.

I wrote the original complaint. I never signed a contract, so comments about the contract are useless. Jennifer claimed she spoke to my birth grandparents in Pasagoula, Mississippi, said my father's name was Jeff/John, she also gave a last name of my biological father and first and last names of biological materal grandparents, said everyone was from Cleveland, and said my bmom is in "Arabia". This is all in emails. My birthgrandparents are dead and have been for years, my father's name is not John/Jeff, no one is/was from Cleveland, and my birthmom was never in "Arabia". I think Jennifer meant Saudi Arabia, and she's not there either. On August 21, I went to Columbus Ohio and searched the birthrecords and found the last name myself. Not Jennifer or Givenright. I called her receptionist and told her the name. After I TOLD HER the information, I got an email with it. All of this- every lie, every time stamp of phone calls, etc. is available for proof. Not to mention the fact that my name is on record in Columbus at Vital Statistics and what I was searching. Jennifer promised me my birth father's name and license information. I have not recieved it- probably because I haven't given it to her to give to me. So yes, Jennifer sent me an email with a name- after I gave it to her receptionist in the first place. Even I can do a search if someone gives me the name. In other words, I did my own search, not givenright. I am curious to know how Jennifer came up with the name of Jeff/John T. and all the other fake names she gave me.

Someone said that GivenRight.com was a liar. I do not feel that they are. I used this company to conduct a search for my daughter that I placed for adoption 20 years ago. I researched several search companies online before choosing GivenRight.com. I chose them because of their competitive price, their professional manner, and their friendliness when speaking with them. Now only did they find my daughter, but they found her in a matter of hours after I contracted with their company. I paid them deposit and my final payment both on the same day, and I have been completely satisfied with their company. I have had nothing but joy in their service and a sense of completion to my family. I would recommend this company to anyone searching for a family member who has been separated by adoption. I wish you only success in your searching. I know that this company has been in business since 1989 and is owned and operated by both an adoptee and a birth-mother, so the search is very personal to her. She treats these searches with the utmost respect and professionalism.

What a bunch of bologna coming from somebody who already got the information they paid for! Shame on you for not updating this pitiful rant. I had a great experience with givenright.com. I hired them to find my sister that was placed for adoption before I was born and they found her. I chose givenright because their rates were much more reasonable than any other search company I found online. I got more information than I ever hoped for (sister's name, address, phone number, adoptive parent's names, brother's name, myspace page with pictures, etc). I feel like I ripped them off! I know you signed a contract just like I did. The contract said they had 90 days to work on a case and that the retainer was non-refundable. Just because you didn't get things your way or in your time doesn't mean that this company is a scam.
