For Ethiopian adoptees living around the world who want to discover their biological families. We review adoption records, known birth names, possible birthplaces and local connections to help identify relatives.

About KINLINK
More than finding names. Finding where you belong.
Identity · Heritage · Belonging
KINLINK is an Ethiopian family connection and birth family search initiative dedicated to helping adopted individuals reconnect with their biological families in Ethiopia.
We understand that searching for biological relatives is more than finding names or locations. It is about identity, personal history, cultural heritage, and the human need to understand where we come from. Our work combines structured family research, local investigation, information verification, and reunion facilitation.
Our Mission
Helping Ethiopian adoptees reconnect with their biological families while supporting Ethiopian families searching for children adopted abroad.
Our Vision
A world where every Ethiopian adoptee can discover their origins, understand their heritage, and make informed decisions about reconnection.
Our Purpose
- Help adoptees discover their Ethiopian birth families.
- Help Ethiopian parents and relatives search for adopted children.
- Preserve family histories and personal identities.
- Support responsible family verification.
- Facilitate voluntary and respectful family reunions.
- Connect people with their Ethiopian cultural roots.
Why Family Reconnection Matters
Understanding your origins can be an important part of understanding yourself. For adoptees, finding biological relatives may provide answers about childhood, family history, medical background, and cultural identity. Every journey is different, and we respect each person's circumstances, expectations, and decisions.
Our Services
Bringing families closer, one search at a time.
KINLINK provides family search and reconnection assistance for Ethiopian adoptees and biological families, combining information gathering, local research and responsible communication.
Family Search for Ethiopian Parents
For Ethiopian parents and relatives searching for children who were adopted internationally. We help gather family details, adoption documents and other clues that may assist the search.
DNA Testing & Family Verification
DNA can be an important tool for confirming biological relationships. We can help review existing results and coordinate with independent testing providers. KINLINK does not operate its own DNA laboratory.
Family Verification & Investigation
Finding a possible relative is only part of the process. We compare documents, family memories and identifying information, and we clearly distinguish confirmed facts from possible matches.
Reconnection & Reunion Support
When a family is identified, we help facilitate respectful communication: letters, photographs, calls, translation and voluntary in-person meetings. No private details are shared without consent.

A careful journey from search to reconnection.
Every family search is unique. This structured approach keeps the process clear, honest and respectful.
