Are you searching for your biological family?
We are a nonprofit dedicated to assisting individuals searching for their biological parent(s) using DNA interpretation, mapping, and extensive research. For clients struggling with news of a Non Paternal Event (NPE, also referred to as Not Parent Expected), donor conception, or adoption, we offer support and fellowship in our private online group. Services to help find birth parents come at no cost to you, other relatives may require a fee.
Welcome to DNAngels
Every year, DNAngels accepts hundreds of new cases from adoptees, donor conceived, and Not Parent Expected (NPEs) with biological questions due to surprise parental results following a home DNA test. To support this mission, we rely 100% on the generosity of donations.
As a 501(c)3, your tax-deductible donation of any amount supports the life changing efforts of DNAngels. Your gift assists those in need of biological answers and emotional support within our growing NPE/Donor Conceived/Adoptee community.
