Introduction


Connecting to the Internet

Commercial/Local (partial list - no endorsement)

Academic (students at most local colleges and universities)

Cyber Cafes

Here you can browse the net for a few dollars an hour while enjoying your beverage of choice.

Libraries


Searching for Information

World Wide Web (a.k.a. WWW, 'web') Search Engines and Indices

A search engine for Newsgroups

An index of email lists about adoption


General and Comprehensive Web Pages


Agencies

This is a very incomplete list. For a full list of all agencies go to AdoptioNetwork above.


Country Specific

These sites seem to come and go, so we stopped after these three. It's better to start with the comprehensive resources above and then locate country resources.

China


Web Bulletin Boards

These are similar to newsgroups (below), but they use a web browser.


Lists

Probably because they can be moderated and private, I've found lists to have higher quality content than newsgroups.

Newsgroups

Most Internet newsgroups are not moderated, and they are afflicted with Spam. The adoption associated newsgroups are often not of very good quality. Besides news clients, newsgroups can also be read (slowly) using DejaNews: http://www.dejanews.com/home_bg.shtml
