About Research Etc., Inc.

Research Etc., Inc. is a full-service private investigation agency experienced in all aspects of information research. We are located in Scottsdale, Arizona but provide investigation services inside the United States and world wide. Our specialties include adoption searches - reuniting adoptees with their birthmothers, birthfathers, siblings, and other birth family - and information retrieval on national and international businesses and organizations.

We currently have four fully-licensed and bonded Private Investigators on staff who are committed to client satisfaction and the thorough research of each individual case. We also have a trained and certified Confidential Intermediary to arrange reunions between willing adult adoptees, birth and adoptive families. Please see our Confidential Intermediary Page for more information on the Arizona Confidential Intermediary Program.

We have successfully reunited friends and families from all over the United States, located missing heirs and have aided various attorneys with legal research and skip tracing people and assets. To date, we can proudly boast a 95% success rate on completed searches and continue to strive toward keeping that statistic current.

We have brought together birth families, located old military friends and reunited lost loves. We have helped many who organize family, military, and high school reunions. As each case is inherently different, we strive to maintain strict confidentiality and sensitivity toward all parties involved.

Research Etc., Inc. is now offering a birth and reunion registry to help people with their adoption search. This registry is free to search and costs only $10 for your listings. BIRTHLINE® is growing fast, post your listing now!

Numerous Data Sources At A Fraction Of The Cost

As licensed Private Investigators, we have access to on-line databases available only to P.I.s. This includes birth records, birth registries, marriage records, and other sources. Although some private investigation agencies get their information from the same sources we do, they have to keep their costs high to pay for advertising while still maintaining a profit margin. At Research Etc., Inc., we get our business primarily through word-of-mouth from satisfied clients and thus keep our advertising costs at a minimum. (See Fees)
