• The National Women's Health Information Center(NWHIC) This fabulous and ever-growing site on Women's Health specifically for Women with Disabilities is definitely worth a look!

• MS Moms This site is targeted toward women (particularly parents) who are living with MS. It includes a discussion board and library, among other resources.

• Sexual Health Network Home Page This site, developed by Mitch Tepper, a dad with a disability, discusses issues of sexuality and reproductive health for people with disabilities. Parents concerned about web safety for their children should note that this site contains frank discussion of sexuality issues, but this is definitely an informative site, and not a "sex trash" site. That said, we believe that since sexuality is a part of what leads to parenting for most of us in the first place, it is important that we include this information here. It is one of the best and most all-inclusive sites on this subject that we've seen.

• Disability Resources Monthly (DRM) Web Watcher: Parents with Disabilities Great collection of resources; some of which are included at this site, plus some new things to see.

• Vive la Difference? Nice article about adoption issues for prospective parents in the UK. Published by Aadoption-net.co.uk, March 31, 2001.

• Invisible Children’s Project Resources List of resources for people with psychiatric disabilities who are parents.
