Adopt a Missing Person Program

Do you remember how Elizabeth Smart of Utah was located? A woman had seen her abductor's photo and then recognized him on the street. The Smart family was then able to be reunited with their daughter. What a joyous moment for them!

Awareness of a missing person is often key to resolution of these cases. The more often the missing loved one's face is seen, the greater the odds increase of location and reunion. Wouldn't you like to do your part to increase the odds for a family who dreams of holding their loved one in their arms once again?

Adopt a Missing Person is one of Project Jason's programs to assist families of the missing. It is a simple, yet effective way to bring about awareness for these missing loved ones.

  1. Look at the list below and choose a person or persons to adopt. The families have sent us photo buttons, plus an information sheet about their missing loved one. You may read about the missing person by clicking on their photo below, then select one or more person to adopt.
  2. Complete and submit our online adopt a missing person form

Or for your convenience you can send us a addressed bubble mailer with postage already included. (Depending on the size of your mailer and how many buttons you are requesting. A 4x7 mailer requires two .44 stamps and a 6x9 mailer requires three .44 stamps. Send your SASE mailer to:
