Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There are literally thousands. Your best bet is to stick to the main registry at

http://registry.adoption.com/

And maybe one or two state specific online registries.

The problem with registries, both online and official state run ones, is they are a one way search. If the other party doesn't know of their existence, they're not going to register. That's why they have a really low success rate, and people get discouraged.

That's not to say you shouldn't register - because you should if you're interested in search - but don't get discouraged if you don't get a match.

If you want to search beyond registries, there are lots of people who will help you. By the same token, if what you feel comfortable with right now is just a registry-based search, ignore anyone who tries to push you in a direction you're not comfortable with. Everyone searches at their own pace.

Good luck.
