Everyone deserves safe, meaningful connection.

Find Love Safely helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build friendship, confidence, and love — with thoughtful matchmaking and supportive guidance.

Whether you’re a member looking for connection or a caregiver hoping to support someone you love, you’re in the right place.

What We Do

Matchmaking is at the heart of everything we do.

Find Love Safely is not a dating app. We’re a relationship-focused service built specifically for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We offer:

  • Personalized matchmaking
  • Live virtual coaching and skill-building
  • Optional one-on-one support
  • Inclusive, welcoming social events
  • A calm, safety-first approach that respects independence

Our goal is simple: to help adults with IDD experience connection without pressure, confusion, or unnecessary risk.

Who We Serve

Find Love Safely was built for adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and the people who support them.

Adults with IDD

who want friendship, dating, or companionship

Caregivers, parents, and support staff

who want a thoughtful, safe process

We believe independence and support can coexist — and both matter.

  • Intentional — no algorithms, no swiping, no pressure
  • Experienced — built by families who understand the risks and the hopes
  • Supportive — coaching and education alongside matchmaking

  • Transparent — caregivers can stay informed without taking over
We don’t promise instant matches. We promise care, attention, and integrity.

A Personal Note

Find Love Safely was created by a parent who understands both the desire for independence and the need for safety.

What began as one family’s question — “How can my child date safely?” — has grown into a service supporting adults and families across the country.

We’re honored to walk alongside you.
