:Pat, six weeks is too young for most kittens to go to new homes. Kittens need to be socialized and trained. 8-10 weeks would be the absolute earliest with 12-16 weeks being ideal. The interaction of the kittens with each other and with you will increase dramatically over the next few weeks. This will result in the kittens suffering less separation anxiety when they are adopted.
pat, contact your local rescue groups--you can find a lot of them on petfinder.com--and ask for their help. good rescues will screen all applicants and even do home visits to make sure that the little ones get into good homes. i agree with abymom that these tiny ones are too little now, but this gives you a couple of weeks to ask around and find rescue folk you feel good about. should there not be local homes, most rescues will do transports, too--with drivers as well as the far-off homes screened first!
