Dear TeenHealthFX,
Do you know of any federal public policies that have to do with illegitimate children or children born out of wedlock. I would greatly appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

Dear Public Policies & Children Born Out Of Wedlock,
Unfortunately, your question does not offer specific information on what you are exactly looking for. The subject of federal public policy and children born out of wedlock is very broad and you could have many areas of concern and questions. So here are some agencies that you can call to get more information or hopefully will lead you in the right direction for what you are looking for. This list primarily serves the Northern New Jersey area; however, these agencies exist in all states. The name may not be exactly the same, but it will be similar.
- Morris County Board of Social Services - (973) 326.7800
- Legal Aid Society of Morris County - (973) 285.6911
- Maternal and Child Health Network - (973) 971.4135
- Women, Infants & Children (WIC Program) - (800) 427.3244
As always, if you cannot get the information you are looking for though these numbers, feel free to submit another question to TeenHealthFX.
