14th Annual RegDay Helps to Reunite Separated Family Members

On Saturday, November 8, 2008,  New York adoption community members along with Borders Books of Farmingdale will host New York’s 14th Annual RegDay. RegDay is an annual event to promote the International Soundex Reunion Registry (ISRR)

ISRR is a free, non-profit mutual consent registry dedicated to reuniting adult family members separated by adoption, divorce, foster care or other dislocation. Lauded in the nationally syndicated Dear Abby Column, ISRR has reunited thousands of adults all over the world. Guests will be able to enter the registry by completing forms available at the event.

RegDay is organized by the Adoption Registration Coalition, a network of volunteers from various search and support, adoption reform, and adoptee rights activist groups.

Visitors to the Farmingdale Borders Bookstore location will be able to pick up information about support, search and reunion resources and learn about proposed New York legislation that will allow all adult adoptees the same access as non-adoptees to their original birth certificates.

Guests will also be able to view a playlist featuring hundreds of personal videos submitted by adoptees, mothers, and separated siblings across the world related to their own adoption stories.

RegDay locations are being set up across the country. To find the nearest site, or for more information, visit www.RegDay.org or call Theresa Hood at 267-234-7925
