Testimonials

Adoption Investigative Class

They are going to meet this weekend. The bottom line is we could have never done this without you. I don't know how many people get results so fast on their own. You have been very kind, and sensitive, and if all your students get the same depth of personal attention and caring and compassion, you are more than a instructor. You are a life mentor - as our lives will change in a myriad of ways.
-- Tara

I am so thankful for the sensible as well as compassionate responses and advice from you. At times you sprinkled your messages with humor and your efforts did not go unnoticed and were most welcome.
You display high standards of excellence in your teaching. I can't remember when I've had so much fun with an instructor. I know you'll continue to be a beacon of light to others in whatever direction you travel. Thank you for enlightening me!
-- Sandy, California.

A million variables. But by following your advice, following thru and not giving up, we found our needle in the Haystack. 200 million Americans and we found one. If only the Katrina families/agencies had your know-how.
-- T.D

You are a wealth of information, always available and have provided me with so many things to think about in my research! Your suggestions made a ton of sense, I just needed your expertise and guidance to get there.
You have been a complete joy to work with. Thanks for a wonderful set of sessions!
-- Vicki

Lost Friends and Family Investigative Class


I can't say enough about you and your class. Your experience, insight and humor made the course so pleasant. I found my half-brother and we are meeting this weekend. Our first toast is going to be to you.
-- Louis, New York


I have tried for years to find my best friend but kept hitting dead ends. I almost didn't take your class. Am I glad I did! We now talk at least twice a week. We live pretty far apart but we are meeting in Las Vegas next summer. We both thank you very much for teaching this class. You have made two middle-aged women as giddy as the girls they used to be!
-- Maggie

LINDA, you're the best!!! Thanks to you, our family is now complete!
HUGS HUGS AND MORE HUGS TO YOU from our entire family!
-- Mary

Linda Rakita teaches about finding lost friends and relatives in the here and now. As those who follow genealogy have found by now, is that there is a cutoff point where all government records seem to go underground.
She not only knows how to find them but has the delicate touch of civility and kindness that allows the student to contact those lost friends without causing old problems to surface again or cause excess trauma, so to speak. She is a master in this area. I would like to thank you for what you have done for me.
You have a rare talent that others need to recognize.
-- Jim


The resources you have given us are incredible. I am going to have to print off another copy. The first copy has become tattered from turning the pages.

You are so talented and so generous about sharing your knowledge and time to help us in our searches.
-- Elaine
