OmniTrace Assists Producers Of MTV’s True Life
OmniTrace is assisting the producers of MTV’s True Life: I’m Looking For My Child.
Here’s what MTV says about their documentary series:
“MTV’s Emmy-nominated documentary series True Life, explores remarkable real-life stories of young people and the extraordinary subcultures they inhabit. Crosstown Media, a production company that produces many of the True Life episodes – is currently accepting submissions for their latest episode – I’m Looking For My Child.
Having lost contact with a loved one is a difficult situation for anybody – and when that loved one is their own child, that feeling of loss and desire to connect (or reconnect) must be significantly greater. True Life wants to explore what it’s like for a young adult who desperately wants to unite (or reunite) with their long-lost child…and we want to document the journey of that person trying to make their dream come true.
True Life takes an intimate and unobtrusive approach to their storytelling. The entire production crew consists of just one person – a producer with a camera…that’s it. We capture the story over the course of approximately two months. Because True Life is a Read More

Introducing Sheila Knies – OmniTrace Adoption Search Consultant
We enjoy profiling members of our OmniTrace staff to readers of our blog and to those who are considering retaining our people search and adoption search services.
Today we want to introduce Sheila Knies, who is a member of our Search Consultant Department. We asked Sheila to provide a little background information about herself:
“Sheila Knies, a former Pan Am flight attendant, has a BA degree in Spanish and a Masters degree in Bicultural-Bilingual Education. She has been married for 25 years and has two children, both in their early 20s.
Her interest in adoption searches began when her daughter’s closest friend asked her to help locate her birth mother years ago. She searched for six years and found out how impossible these searches were to do. Sheila was thrilled when she found OmniTrace. It was wonderful to discover a company whose main focus was to reunite families. Wanting to assist in this goal, she applied for the position of Adoption Search Consultant and presently works in that position to this day.”
In future posts, we’ll introduce other members of our OmniTrace staff. Please call or write us with any questions you may have. Sheila and our other search consultants would love to hear from you!

A Recent Email To OmniTrace Investigator: Rachel Weiss
Rachel Weiss is one of our top investigators at OmniTrace. She recently completed a successful birth mother search and here is a testimonial from a very happy reunited adoptee:
“Rachel,
Let me start my story by saying THANK YOU to everyone who worked on my case. On March 11 2009 at 3:00 p.m. west coast time I called her. At that initial time I was hoping to get voice mail. After 5 rings she picked up the phone and said such a sweet hello. I asked “is Elizabeth was available” she replied ” yes this is she. Who is this” I stated “my name is” Andrea S.” excitedly she said “Is this my daughter” I replied with “is that ok ” ? “Oh honey of course it is”! she told me. From there on we talked for 30 min and 22 sec. We talked the next day when she told me that she received the flowers and teddy bear i sent her from the prior day even before I made that first call.
March, 18 2009 at about 10:30 am we met each other in Read More
