The contact person is Chuck Smith and his number is 404-633-6021. One paragraph of their information sheet entitled "Rainbow Kids" states: "Adoption Options has been established to help support, encourage, and increase the number of adoptions by Gays and Lesbians. Many people do not know where to start the process or may continually be hitting stumbling blocks working with agencies that are not experienced or sympathetic to working with Gays or Lesbians. Many people are actively pursuing adoptions but may be running up against many "no's" or offers of only children with severe mental or physical problems that must be handled. Most state agencies will not allow adoption of children in the custody of the Department of Family and Children Services by Gays and Lesbians. Even the ones who say they will allow the adoptions may not truly support them. Therefore you will rarely see it occur." "There are so many children that need the love, support, and acceptance that adoptive parents can provide. If you wish to provide a loving home to one of the many children needing parents and are interestd in learning more about your Adoption Options please contact Chuck Smith at (404) 633-6021." Good luck.
