This is a new feature for our lending library as of February, 2004, and it is hoped that you will request some of these informative and interesting articles along with your book selections. An article will not count as one of your allowed three selections; you can receive articles in addition to the three books. Just add the article titles to the "Additional Comments" section of the order form.

The Articles Library is a collection of articles taken from magazines, newsletters, local and national newspapers, as well as individuals on a variety of topics that are of interest to adoptive and foster parents. The articles will cover most of the areas identified in the lending library.

Unfortunately, we cannot list all articles here. If you do not see an article on the topic of interest, please contact our office. We would be happy to search our files to determine if we have an article on the topic you are interested in.

We will also feature a book review bi-monthly from the books we have in our library. We will provide a listing of books (PDF, 92k) that adoptive and foster parents need to be aware of, but have not been purchased by the Center.
