yahoo groups has one -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fostercare/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=5
very good, very active; full of experience in the area; people from all over to help you work through a particular state's rules, etc. it's a great forum geared to those adopting from foster care. |

www.forums.adoption.com is very much ran by people pushing reactive attachment disorder therapy (holding therapy) they believe all adoptive children are damaged goods and should go through treatment like Candace Newmaker did (the little girl killed by unlicensed therapist being held down on the floor for hours) the site also reportedly makes a lot of money for the people pushing attachment therapy.. (CHECK OUT THEIR SPECIAL NEEDS ADOPTION AND ATTACHMENT DISORDER SECTION TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT) http://forums.adoption.com/special-needs-attachment/
www.happymomanna.com is a good site that does not push attachment disorder therapy..
