The Adoption.com Library is a site devoted to articles and stories related to the various sides of adoption and foster parenting. Many of the stories and articles you'll find here are written by members of the triad who want to share their experiences with others.

You will also find information on celebrities who have or are adopted, adoption laws for each state and a comprehensive glossary of adoption terminology, used in the Library as well as throughout the adoption community. The library has something for everyone, from stories about search and reunion to first-hand accounts of successful open adoptions, from the perspective of the birth parent, adoptee and adoptive parent.
