There is never a charge and there is tons of information and links for the new searcher. The way you write the subjects makes a difference. I am looking for a brother and I word the subject with what I do know:

Lewis, Paul William dob 2-13-1963 Riverside California

(body of message)Looking for my brother Paul William Lewis born 13 Feb 1963 in Riverside CA. Adopted mothers maiden name was Rogers. Birth mothers name is Carol Ann Taylor (Walker) Please email me at debbrawalker@gmail.com

List on every board that you can think of. All the adoption boards, for you California, Kansas, put in a search request for an obituary for any name you might think they used. Fill out a Calif mutual Consent form asap

Many of us angels have attention deficit (jk) got to get the attention fast. But the #1 piece of advice to follow is GET A EMAIL ADDRESS THAT WILL BE THERE FOR GOOD! yes I was yelling the most depressing thing in the world is to find your loved one and the email is dead and some weird name like mommiedearest @hatetheworld.com

Good luck to you!
