Favorites and Links

These are some of my favorite web sites.  Adoption sites are numerous, and many are listed below. Let me know if you want your site added!

Chinese Adoption Resource Sites:

• June 99 DTC website
  A website for families from all across the world who sent dossiers to China (DTC) in June, 1999 and have received referrals for their children in December 1999 - February 2000.  This is the group that I went through the first adoption process with, while I waited to bring Gwenn home.

• June 01 DTC Website
  A website for families from all around the world who sent dossiers to China (DTC) in June, 2001 and that are waiting for referrals.  This is the group that I will go through my second adoption process with, while I waited to bring Ella home.
