What Does it Mean?

ISRR = International Soundex Reunion Registry, Inc. is a registry for persons seeking reunion with next-of-kin.

Rx = remedy, solution, prescription, cure for a disorder or problem.

eXchange = "Giving something and receiving something of the same kind in return." "To engage in reciprocal interaction."

ISRRxchange is based on Peers = "persons of equal standing, belonging to the same societal experience".

What is the ISRRxchange?

ISRRxchange was a pilot program facilitated by ISRR from March 2012 - April 2013. It was a social network somewhat like Facebook where members (ISRR Registrants and those who wished to help them without charge) could share and support each other. It turned out to be way more expensive and time intensive than anticipated. Members did not donate enough to sustain the costs, nor were there enough volunteers to moderate and handle the technical aspects. ISRR will evaluate if there is another way to provide a way for Registrants to support each other that is easier for everyone. Check back here periodically to see announcements.

In addition, those who gain expertise along the way can share their invaluable experiences. This is a journey that need not be done in isolation. In the 1970's and 80's, the adoption reform movement grew from only 2 organizations to over 550 search and support groups spread across the world. (See TRIADOPTION Archives). Few of those still exist, but online resources have allowed persons to connect via chat rooms, groups, social networks and websites. ISRRx is similar to facebook or other social media. It is meant to grow and change with the needs expressed by members.
