Reunions from the NEW CI Law                                         

Copyright 2000 - 2008                                             Last updated on:05/26/2008

 

Welcome

NC Coalition for Adoption Reform       

 

"This is, in fact the 21st century and I believe it is time to add maturity to this 20th century legislation"

[NC General Statute Chapter 48 - Adoptions] by L. Gibowski

                                                     

The following is from a .pdf DHHS currently has out with all of the agencies who will be participating in the new CI law.  Last updated as of 5/20/08. We would still like YOUR input about fees and experiences if possible.  If an agency sees a fee which is wrong, we would very much like to put the correct information out here for people, so contact us.

Remember the new law is only as good as everyone who is in search mode makes it, along with the agencies work
