INTERNET SEARCH
If you're trying to find a particular site or document on the Internet or just looking for a resource list on adoption, you can use one of the many available on-line search engines. These engines allow you to search for information in many different ways. Some search titles or headers of documents, others search the documents themselves, and still others search other indexes or directories.
