Karen's Adoption Links - State or Citizenship (your location) Email Groups

Here are listservs that are based upon where you live. They help network parents who live in a specific state and have adopted or are adopting. Most of these lists are restricted membership, so you will need to ask to join. Some of the lists are for a group that meets regularly. For more Adoption Lists try Master Index to Lists, Groups & Chat Boards
