The massive spread of social networks worldwide, along with the increasing adoption age, more and more often, generates a situation whereby families are unable to handle their children’s search for the biological family, exclusively through official channels and in accordance with our legislation schedule. The author offers some thoughts on the risks and the opportunities directly connected to these dynamics and on the challenges on which families must be prepared to forecast and manage complex situations and the powerful emotions that burst in the children’s lives (and family’s as well) when an adoption, already closed, suddenly becomes open.

Keywords: Adoption, search for origins, social networks, closed adoption, biological family, adopted children
