I have heard that a program exists in Washington state for the placement
of gay youth and severe problem children in lesbian/gay homes.  I would
appreciate very much any information on this program if it exists and
any program like it in other jurisdictions.

One possible source of information is a group called Lesbian and Gay
Parents Adoption Family Support Group - Children's Home Society, but
I need their contact address and phone number.

My partner is organizing a network of 'gay-positive' foster families
in the greater Vancouver area here in B.C. with the cooperation of
youth workers in the Ministry of Social Services, Province of British
Columbia and we would like to gather information about any other
established programs in other areas as well as possible pitfalls.

Please direct replies by email to any of my addresses or by regular
mail to:
