National Adoption Day this year is Saturday, November 18th. This is also ISRR "Reg Day." This is the first year that Reg Day is going to be held in November. Previous years, it was held on a Saturday in October.
National Adoption Day is a collective national effort to raise awareness of the 118,000 children in foster care waiting to find permanent, loving families. For the last six years, National Adoption Day has made the dreams of thousands of children come true by working with courts, judges, attorneys, and advocates to finalize adoptions and find permanent, loving homes for children in foster care.

National Adoption Day is celebrated every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. In 2005, judges, attorneys, adoption professionals, child welfare agencies and advocates in 45 states and the District of Columbia helped to finalize the adoptions of more than 3,300 children from foster care. That year, 227 events were held throughout the country to finalize adoptions and to celebrate all families who adopt.

Like I said above, Reg Day is an annual event and the goal is to increase the publics awareness of the International Soundex Reunion Registry as well as the resources available in the state in which a Reg Day site is being hosted.

The theory behind Reg Day is for volunteers/organizations in the adoption community to host an event table at a public location, providing registration forms, brochure, and resources that can be helpful for a triad member who is interested in initiating a search for their natural family.

Reg Day is organized by the Adoption Registration Coalition. More information on Reg Day can be obtained by visiting the official website at http://www.adopteerights.org/regday/. Information is available here for individuals to locate a Reg Day Site near them, or if you are interested in hosting a Reg Day site there is information available to get you started such as a site coordinators guide, handouts and pamphlets.
