Troy The Locator
Troy The Locator has been reuniting birth family for over twenty years and is one of the
most viewed shows on WE tv. Millions of people have witnessed Troy The Locator conduct reunions between birth parents and adoptees.
A new episode of Troy The Locator airs Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009, 9:00 PM Eastern Time and 8:00 PM Central.
Here is what WE tv has to say about Troy The Locator:
Troy Dunn is a true phenomenon: From finding birth parents to organ donors, his brilliant investigative skills are a marvel to all who see him in action. His impressive track record for locating people means that he and his staff are routinely inundated with dozens of new cases to solve on a weekly basis.
But for one week each month, Troy devotes all of his staff and resources to one important case that they call the Angel Case. This Angel Case usually comes to Troy because there is an urgent need to find someone and because she has exhausted all other possible avenues. The Angel Case meeting begins with Troy’s staff presenting him with three to four potential cases and after a brief discussion, Troy decides which challenge he wants to take on. On his way out of the meeting, Troy assigns specific tasks to his staff members to streamline the search process.
Join Troy and his team on these emotional journeys, where everything from creative tactics to sheer luck provide breakthroughs in his quest to reunite loved ones and reconnect lives

personally, I as an adoptee amd really sick and tired of all the consideration being given to the birth mother or parents and none to the adopted children.
I mean really – what RIGHT does someone have to promise anybody that they won’t tell their child or children who they really are or where they came from?
Okay – until the adopted child is a legal adult, go ahead and keep it hush hush but if they are of age and want to know their name? They have a RIGHT to know their name. Former slaves in America have apparently got MORE RIGHTS to their own information than adoptees. In particular, the Catholic Church is one of the WORST when it comes to this stuff. They apparently believe they’re above the law – that is, the freedom of information act. Wasn’t that law passed already – possibly a few years ago? So then why can’t I access my name? I am beyond frustrated at this point. At sixty five years of age and still looking – I am BITTER.
Your right as the state of Ark is really bad too. I know my birth name ( William Earl Garst) but, can’t find out about my father who fought for 2 yrs to keep me. I also have 2 brothers & 2 sisters and don’t know anything about them. I want to know if I was the only one given away and if the others even know that I exist? Do they tink I’m dead or something? I’m alive and have 4 kids and have been married for 29 yrs. I’d like to meet my birth father and siblings.
Hi all!
I am searching for my son, born Nathan Kyle Coyle…Jan.4th 1988. I hope him to be in great health,a good stable upbringing,and all the love I could have given and more. I would also like to thank the adoptive family for having my son.
I too was adopted and am searching also for my father and sibs..Birth Father-Marshall Elliot Swinford, I believe to be in Indiana. If you do not wish to see me,maybe I may have the chance to meet my sibs at the very least? I would appreciate this soo much and understand if you do not wish to contact me.
To all, good luck in your searches and good day!!
Hi my name is Arni elliott swinford i live in iceland and my father marshall elliott swinford was living there with my mom and me he left in 1980 and i have been looking for him since then..
Oh wow – well thank goodness at least you have your name. My name (birth name supposedly) was/is Sherry Anne Blythe. My birth mother MADE IT UP. I am apparently named after her favorite drink and Anne Blythe the movie actress. I was told by the Catholic Charities that my birth mother used FIVE DIFFERENT NAMES and meanwhile they won’t or can’t tell me any of them. They told me everything else though – all the dirty details including that I was apparently in a penile institution with my mother soon after I was born. I was adopted at fifteen months of age – rather old by comparison and I guess I’m lucky I got adopted at all – even though it wasn’t the greatest situation, it could have been MUCH worse. Anyway – I advise you to never give up. More often than not, little consideration is given the fathers. That needs to change quickly.
Okay – they don’t have to give birth but once there is a baby born? They have every right to be a part of the child’s life. God bless you and good luck.
I am looking for a son, Born March 30, 1983, at Good Shepard Hospital,Gregg Co. in Longview, TX. I was told his first and middle names were, Nicholas Russell. This was a private adoption. I was in college at the time and took a maternity leave for his birth. Dr. Lucas was the attending OBGYN. in place of Dr. Bianca. And The attorney used was a Lynn Patton of Longview as well. I would appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you and God Bless!
i am looking for my grangpa. All I know is his name is Jerry and he either was a pharmacist or worked for one in jackson mississippi. My grandmother met him at a bar in jackson and he rapped her and she became pregnant with my mother so she gave my mom up for adoption and my moms great uncle adopted her.. I would really like to meet him and the rest of my family. If anyone can help me or has any advise please let me know!!! thank you!!!
Have you gone to the town where the conception took place and done some leg work… more then likely he might have owned the pharmacy.. check out the Cole directories and then make it to the drugstores and check them out..
Hope to meet you soon

i have been looking for my birth mother since 1981. my search has been very costly in the past, and when the cost of your search is affecting you ability to pay your bills it is time to let it go, so i did. i would really like to contact my birth mother, just to let her know that i am very thankful for putting me up for adoption, as i had very good parents. i would also like to know if i have any siblings? i live both in southern ontario, and western new york, and i have good health and i am willing to travel, if a reunion is possible. i would love to meet her, and tell her about my family, and her grand kids, great grand kids, and her great great grand child…..hopefully you can make this happen for me…..garry
I completely agree with the first post about the Catholic Charities, I am totally disgusted with the way they operate. I as an adult have every right to that information as an adoptee. I was born in Naperville Il, on 8/16/72, if that wasn’t changed also!! I was a few weeks old at adoption and I’ve been searching for years and I’m so frustrated at something I have a given right to know!!
I am looking for my biological parents. I was put up for adoption in 1971 in Moundsville, WV, I was one or two weeks old. My adopted parents mean the world to me but there still remains a hole in my soul and the only thing that will fill it is knowing who I am. My adopted father, Jack, was the head football coach at John Marshall High School during that time. We moved to Princeton, WV a few months after I was born.
12-19-48 Iowa. Looking for brother given up for adoption. I am the oldest. He was 6-8 months old when placed with the welfare dept. I did get non-identifing info after I wrote the state of Iowa and requested it. His adoption was finalized in Cedar County, Iowa in 1952. So I am assuming his first name stayed the same Allen, or Alan. Seems really sad the he is 61 years old and I am 62 and still cannot get info.
troy, I think you are the best. I just think people need to hear that. keep going gate keeper!!!!
