SEARCH TRIAD, Inc.

On May 8, 2008 Search Triad celebrated its
32st ANNIVERSARY
serving the Adoption Community!!!

Search Triad, Inc. was founded in 1976 and has assisted with more than 1000 reunions. We are an independent, all volunteer, non-profit, search and support group. As a member of the American Adoption Congress our aim is to promote openess, honesty and sound practices in adoption.

In this era of computer technology, Internet searching has become commonplace making the need for support groups paramount. The 'one on one' and group discussions, the embraces and the experiences shared by others are invaluable. We encourage members to attend our monthly support meetings. By interacting with other 'triad' members one can better prepare him/herself for the reunion and post reunion.

Search Triad, Inc. meets monthly in Phoenix and offers assistance to adults in search. We do not advocate birthparents searching for minors or minors searching for birthparents. Also, because of the personal growth involved, we do not advocate third party searches, but encourage searchers to do their own search under the supervision and guidance of a trained Search Assistant. We also support the free International Soundex Reunion Registry.

Please send all details of your search to the address above. We will review the information and offer either a membership to Search Triad or a referral for search help appropriate to your particular case. Please include a self addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) and a phone number with your request. Long distance calls will be returned collect.

The 13th Annual RegDay was
Saturday, November 10, 2007

RegDay is an annual event to increase public awareness of the International Soundex Reunion Registry. ISRR is a FREE, non-profit, mutual consent registry dedicated to reuniting adult family members separated by adoption, divorce, or fostercare. The ISRR has reunited thousands of adults all over the world.

RegDay volunteers around the nation staff tables set up with ISRR registration forms, informational brochures, and lists of resources helpful to those interested in search, reconnection and adoption reform. RegDay visitors can obtain assistance in filling out ISRR registration forms, and receive referrals to local resources.

THANK YOU to all who volunteered for RegDay 2007!
