BN has assembled a team of professional and volunteer searchers who donate their time and expertise to searching for birth family members of those with a terminal illness. In addition, TIES has compiled a roster of qualified counselors willing to donate their time to provide emotional support for its clients who need it. The program is administered by a dedicated volunteer staff which undertakes the day-to-day management of the program. Since December of 1996 TIES has reunited 11 ailing clients, and cases are continually pending.

T.I.E.S. was founded in response to the right of all adoptees (ill and otherwise) to have obtain their original birth certificates. Until the archaic laws which seal an adoptee's birth records are changed, T.I.E.S. is helping terminally ill adult adoptees who need vital medical history information before it is too late. In the fall of 1997, operations were centralized in Seattle, WA with a full staff and a national toll-free number. Since that time the program has doubled intake and the number of reunions.

This program is free of charge to those who qualify. If you or anyone you know is terminally ill and searching for their birth family, or if you are interested in applying to be part of our network of volunteers, please contact TIES by calling the toll free number 1-888-586-8739, or email TIES at TIES@absnw.com If you would like more information about T.I.E.S., please visit its website at: http://www.ibar.com/TIES/
