Here you can find and post links to other organizations regarding the future of children. I hope this will help many of you find the resources you need to better understand how the child welfare system works.

I couldn't find a way to post a new topic so I hope its okay to add this in here. On one post I recall someone saying don't let a lack of income get in your way toward adoption. That's encouraging. I don't really have a lack of income, but I'm already a single mom (and sole supporter) of two kids, and having started a new business this year, the cash flow…is percolating, let's say, to keep it positive. Anyhoo, how does one go about the process of adoption when there is not surplus cash for lawyers, travel, etc.? Any tips would be great because I'd really love to open my home, heart and family  to a child. Because of the ages of my other two kids, I feel it would be best to bring another child in within two years—is that at all a realistic goal?
