Last fall, we announced our partnership<\/a> with the Mixed Roots Foundation to launch the Spokeo Search Angel Awards. Shortly thereafter in November, we announced a call for nominations<\/a> on behalf of deserving search angels. It\u2019s been a very long awaited announcement, but today, we are elated to announce the five deserving winners of the Spokeo Search Angel Awards!<\/p>\n

As our CEO, Ray aptly notes in our official press release<\/a>, \u201cwe applaud the efforts of search angels everywhere, but are particularly proud of the ones we\u2019re honoring today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These five search angels represent a diverse group of those touched by adoption. From adoptees, to birth mothers and adoptive parents, these five angels have gone beyond their own searches to continue to touch the lives of others daily and we are proud to support them in their work.<\/p>\n

On April 12 at the American Adoption Congress National Conference, we\u2019ll have the group together for a formal meet and greet and look forward to getting to know them further.<\/p>\n

The five honorees have each received a cash grant as well as a premium enterprise Spokeo subscription.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, we present to you the five Spokeo Search Angel Award Winners!<\/strong><\/p>\n
