Dave Soskin’s search for his birth mother

I had been looking for my birth mother for close to 35 years.

I had consulted private investigators, had numerous well-meaning genealogists and friends volunteer to help, done DNA testing and had even had my case accepted and investigated by the USA’s TV show “Long Lost Family”.

No one could find my mother. Within a few weeks of contacting Finding Families I received an email stating, “I have finally found her, and I am absolutely sure it is right”. Louise WAS right, she had found my mother for me. I live in Pennsylvania, USA.

Louise was able to accomplish in two weeks and from 3500 miles away, what a TV show right here in my own backyard and with numerous professional investigators, plus close to unlimited resources could not do in six months.

Louise is an amazing and wonderful person! I highly recommend her!

Dave was able to meet his mother for the first time a few days later.
