Peer-to-peer Healthcare from Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project

Going online to find health related information is not as prevalent as we think. More people rightly look for health professionals and then family. Good report to see.

That is all you need to learn if an agency is interested in representing your child. Do not do any heavy make-up. The agent wants to see how the child looks naturally. Only send in the photos one time
