The NAIC has a web site at www.calib.com/naic, and the Online Publications section will give you access to statistics on various aspects of adoption .

Our agency's web site, at www.adoptionhelp.org, has several articles about various aspects of open adoption. Many of those articles are excerpted from my book, "The Open Adoption Book." There are also many articles quite a few articles about adoption at this web site; just click on the "Library" link from the home page.

Finally, there are also several good books about open adoption and adoption in general available. Some can be purchased on this site (click on SHOP at the top of any page), or a free catalog of adoption books is available from Tapestry Books, 800-765-2367 or at www.tapestrybooks.com.

Good luck with your research.
