Adoptee or Person Looking for Biological Parents & Family
We are looking for adoptees and others who are looking to meet their biological families for the award winning reality TV show, Relative Race. We are now casting for season 11. We are looking for people of all ethnicities, aged 18 to 50, who live in the USA. Please share with anyone who may be interested.
We are interviewing select candidates ASAP to discover if we can help them to locate and meet their biological relatives. To find our contestants’ families, we use Ancestry DNA in combination with some of the industry's top genealogists and research methods. If chosen to appear on the show, contestants will travel with a teammate on a ten-day journey across the U.S. to discover new relatives and compete for $50,000. Please apply ASAP with notes about your story and who you are looking for to begin the process. Thanks for submitting!
Apply by filling out the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/wunNsKwQxhMmVT3X8
You may also email [email protected] with any questions.
In addition to filling out the Google Form, please send us a 1-3 minute video for casting so we can get to know you. If you are applying with a teammate, include both of you in the video. If you do not live in the same city, use Zoom or another platform to record your video together. Tell us a bit about you and share some of your story, who you are searching for, why you are a great contestant, why you would make a great team, why you would be good for the show, etc. Show us your personality! Show your heart. Keep it you and keep it real.
