Many new parents often need a little help when it comes to answering the daily questions associated with bringing a new baby into their lives. Jenny Horn had questions when she became a mom for the first time and decided to search the internet for answers. She came across the New Parents Network, a sort of one stop shopping for parent's information.

"I realized that there were literally thousands of agencies that had been created specifically to help parents and children," says Karen. That's why she started NPN, to gather reliable information from those sources and put them all together on one site.
