Adoption Sites Help Couples Find Matches With Children.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)(COMPUTERS MADE PLAIN)
Byline: JULIE MITCHELL
The number of American families that adopt children is growing steadily.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 232,000 U.S. women took concrete steps toward adoption in 1995. That was up from 204,000 in 1988.
While traditional adoption agencies are still the main facilitators in U.S. adoptions, many couples looking to adopt are turning to the Internet.
It's unusual for an adoption to take place completely online, but most adoption agencies now have Web sites. And there's a growing number of adoption resources on the Net.
Adoption sites can help match potential parents with women looking to find homes for their babies. But it's important to note that states have varying adoption rules. And only a licensed adoption professional can do the paperwork required for a legal adoption.
Adoption Online, at adoption-online.com, has helped connect pregnant women with adoptive couples since 1995. The Web site offers basic information about the adoption process, along with tips, hints and advice.
