4 INTRODUCTION This is the 2007 edition of the Child Welfare Information Gateway National Foster Care and Adoption Directory (formerly, the National Adoption Directory or NAD). The Directory was prepared under contract number GS-23F-8062H for the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human. HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY The National Foster Care and Adoption Directory offers foster care and adoption resources specific for each State, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. As with any directory, information becomes outdated quickly; therefore, we do not guarantee the current accuracy of the listings. Addresses and telephone numbers may change frequently. This directory was generated on April 24, Disclaimer: Child Welfare Information Gateway has collected information on licensed adoption agencies, support groups, postadoption counseling organizations, and search support organizations and included it in this directory as a service to the foster care and adoption community. We cannot vouch for the services provided by these agencies or individuals. It is always advisable to get recommendations from former clients of the agency or individual before making any financial commitment to a particular agency, counselor, or consultant.
