I found this article from 1992. It included the following info which I found interesting : “Adoptees and birth parents can register with the International Soundex Reunion Registry, Box 2312, Carson City, Nev. 89702-2312, (702) 882-7755. This organization maintains a coded, confidential file of registrants 18 and older all over the world.”
The article also lists some of the many free resources that are commonly used to search for birth parents/families. Could prove helpful for those just getting started

@ X24mom - FYI - The ISRR was one of the only registries for many years before the internet. They had names registered by soundex which we use in genealogy. If your name was spelled Smith, Smithe or Smyth, it was indexed to cross reference with any spelling of this surname. They ran on donations only. Although they did not conduct searches, they had their share of reunion stories. I don't know if they are still around.

Christina, is there another registry that you would suggest?
