Go to DFAX [Family & Children Services] in Atlanta and request a list of the private home daycares and day care centers in the area you are interested in. \n\nYou didn't say for what you want the info - so I am assuming you are looking to start one yourself? If so - DFAX will have a lot of info for you, including the requirements you will need to meet in order to qualify to operate one. \n\nMake some phone calls [classifieds + DFAX list] and visit some day care providers to see what works for them and what does not. I can give you more hints if you are looking to run one yourself - simply contact me privately as I don't want to bore you with info if its not needed.\n\nIf you are writing an article or doing some bona fide research - start making phone calls, but be honest enough to tell the providers what you are doing and why you are calling them. DayCare Homes have certain busy busy times - when chitchatting on the phone is a nono - and some down times when they will have time to talk. Be sure to ask if it is convenient or if you may call back.

There are a lot of camps in California. Try searching for camps through the American Camping Association http://www.acacamps.com As far as the foster child issue as someone that works in that area, it's up to the county and the juvenile court. Most counties do allow for the kids to go to a summer camp as long as the camp is ACA certified I believe. Talk to your foster child's social worker they should also be able to guide you. They might even allow for an out-of-state camp as well.

Get on Yahoo groups, like search101 and post that question. I dont know what the laws are in your state, but you need to find a free Search angel to help you search. They are out there, and a reputable one will only charge you for gas, and copies of documents. The most important thing you can get is a copy of your original birth cerficate, or adoption papers. IF you can talk to your A parents about your adoption, please do. They will have pertinant info about you and may have adoption papers on you. As soon as you get anything on your Bio parents get registered ASAP with this registry  http://www.isrr.net/ They are the oldest, biggest and best around. Also check out this website\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Oaks/3847/ They have some good info also for you. Best of luck in your search.
