Larger libraries have computer connections to the Internet, which contains information about waiting children nationally. The librarian will be able to assist you in using the computer to find this information. Register with an adoption exchange. An exchange is a matching mechanism operated by an individual, group or organization. This usually includes a photo listing.
Many exchanges are free, but some do have fees to register.
Review media sources for features about waiting children. Some magazines, newspapers and television newscasts regularly highlight waiting children. Attend adoption picnics, parties, or other social events. Agencies who have custody of waiting children will often sponsor events where prospective adoptive parents interact with these children in an informal setting. Persons who have already adopted, individuals or support groups, could provide you information about their experiences in this area.
