Family Equality Council Library
Family Building · West Virginia · Free
Family Equality's resource library for LGBTQ+ family building. A starting point for foster parents navigating training, licensure, and matching with LGBTQ+ youth in care. Second-parent adoption typically takes 4–8 months and costs
,500–4,000 depending on state. About 25% of US foster youth aging out identify as LGBTQ+ — there's particular need for LGBTQ+-affirming foster families. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
