New Law Makes Millions of Children
Eligible for Health Insurance
A new law signed by President Obama reauthorizes the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and provides funding to extend free or low cost insurance to millions of uninsured children. Visit www.insurekidsnow.gov to determine if your children are eligible for health insurance provided through CHIP.
More than 10,000 foster children have been adopted by families since the 2002 launch of the AdoptUsKids Web site which shares pictures and stories of children needing permanent homes. Learn more at http://www.adoptuskids.org/.
