In our commitment to reconnecting adoptees with their biological families, we firmly believe that making DNA testing accessible to birth parents in China will greatly increase the likelihood of successful matches. We now offer two types of DNA tests (autosomal and STR/paternity/CODIS-type) to birth relatives.
Each DNA test costs approximately $110 USD. With your donations, we will continue to provide DNA tests, free of charge, to any birth family found anywhere in China so that unexpected costs will never prevent a reunion. Furthermore, the contact information for close relative matches will always be provided for free to adoptees.
In addition and when possible The Roots of Love will help financially adult adoptees in their search or in the purchase of any DNA test like 23andme or Ancestry.
Finally we travel to China to search in person for birth parents even in remote area and distribute search posters.
We can accept funds either via Paypal through our donation page or with Zelle by sending to our email chongqingproject@therootsoflove.org. (Zelle does not charge us any fees)
Your donation is truly appreciated and any monetary amount will help families reunite.
Thank you for your generosity! ❤️
The Roots of Love is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 92-1425233), and your donations are tax deductible.
