Sara,
Beginning to search is a hard thing, it takes out a lot of you (emotional).
Here is a little bite of information.
1. The ISRR (not ISSR) is called the International Soundex Reunion Registry. The have a website it is
www.isrr.net, go to the site and I believe that you can an application to register. Then mail it to them so you can placed into the registry.
2. Here is a website for WARM,
www.warmsearch.org. On their site is some information on how to get in contact with them. You call them leave a message and request an application.
They mailed out my application fairly quick. I filled it out and sent them a fee. After they sent me some petitions to sign and return.
I am trying to find out what it is like to work with a CI. I have heard some different things. But with the way the law is set up in Washington it sounds like using a CI is a quick way to do the search.
My afamily supports my search (in fact most of them know). I am sorry that your aparents are not so receptive. But I will am here to try and help.
I was born in Seattle in 1970 and was adopted through the state. How about you? How much background information do you?
I will be back on towards the end of the week and will check back then. Have a great week.
