A lot of the soymilk products are calcium fortified (I like 8th Continent soymilk) as well as cereals, but I don't think they have as much calcium as milk, so you could try a calcium supplement.
Here's a list I compiled for myself (because I'm lactose intolerant) of calcium in non-dairy foods compared to milk (from Webmd.com and gastro.org):
Food - Serving Size - Calcium (mg) per serving
Milk (whole, 2%, 1%, and skim)- 1 cup - 290–300
Sardines in oil - 3 oz - 370
Canned salmon (with bones)- 3 oz - 170–210
Broccoli - 1 cup - 160–180
Turnip greens - ½ cup cooked - 100–125
Egg - 1 - 55
Chinese cabbage (bok choy, Cooked), - 1cup - 158 mg
Molasses, - 2 tbsp - 274 mg
Tofu (processed with Calcium salts, - 3 oz - 225 mg
Spinach, raw - .5 cup - 28 (122 mg if boiled)
Papaya, raw - medium - 72 mg
Good Vegan Calcium Sources
