Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reunion Registry?
A system for matching persons who desire contact with their next-of-kin
by birth.
Who Can Register?
1. Any child/adoptee who is 18 years of age or older.
2. Birth parents, siblings and birth relatives.
3. Adoptive parents of adoptees who are still under the age of 18.
How Does It Work?
When a registration is received the information is computerized. If data matches and the
ISRR registrar determines a relationship exists, both parties will be notified
immediately.
How Is The Registry Funded?
ISRR is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation funded entirely by your donations.
How Much Does It Cost?
There is no fee for this service. All contributions are tax deductible. The generosity of
each registrant will enable this registry to provide for the reunions of tomorrow.
How Long Will A Registration Be Kept on File?
Registrations are kept active until there is a
match or notification is received that you have been reunited and wish
it removed. It is helpful to ISRR if registrants let us know when
their search is complete. It is also vital that registrants keep their
address and phone number current so they can be contacted quickly in
the event of a match.
ISRR Policy
This registry does not perform a search or provide search advice.
Voluntary registration by adults desiring contact or reunion with their next-of-kin
by birth, is deemed legal consent for contact between parties to a match.
Registrants are held responsible for all information provided on their form and any
documentation attached thereto.
ISRR will notify you only when a "match" is made.
If you want confirmation that your form has been received you must
include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your registration.
Mail
requiring signatures or volunteers to stand in line at the post office
will no longer be accepted.
ISRR will not accept an unsigned registration form,
nor forms submitted by third parties without legal power of attorney.
