California state page and all record pages linked to the state page. Counties will be encouraged to adopt the county pages. Consequently, we should have more adoption requests coming in the near future for all the CA county pages. Note: Statewide organizations adopt individual counties as a group. There will be a way for the county coordinators or representatives to link to the county page as well. AdkinsWH 22:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
