This Foundation is dedicated exclusively to finding permanent homes and loving families for children waiting in North America’s foster care systems. Created by Wendy’s® founder Dave Thomas who was adopted, the Foundation implements evidence-based, results-driven national service programs, foster care adoption awareness campaigns and innovative grantmaking.

Nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that was founded in 2001 by advocates of children in the U.S. and around the world in need of families. This website has quite a bit on policy issues and post adoption needs and research. 

This website has information about kids waiting to be adopted, the process for adoption and some post adoption information.  It is not directed at kinship caregivers who are adopting, but some of the information may be helpful.

This brief by ChildFocus and North American Council on Adoptable Children focuses on the needs of children who are adopted by their relatives. It addresses why kinship adoption is on the rise, how kinship adoption differs from other adoptions, and what policies and practices agencies can consider to achieve successful kinship adoptions (2010).
