Catholic Charities provides domestic and intercountry adoption services to children and families, placing children from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds with their forever families.

You may be feeling lost, scared and confused. In such a state of hopelessness, it is difficult to know you have options and to believe you have the power to choose what is right for you and your unborn child. With our free supportive counseling, you can tap into your strengths and find your way through the challenges and, perhaps, the rewards of your unplanned pregnancy. You can explore your options which enable you to make an informed decision regarding you and your child’s future. You can also meet with your counselor as often as you like. We can help you with finding living arrangements. We can also refer you to community resources. We are here to help you through your pregnancy and to help see that your needs are met regardless of your choice to make an adoption plan or to parent.
Expectant Parents:
We care about you and your baby. We are here to help you and your baby regardless of whether you choose to parent your child or to make an adoption plan. Our services are always free to expectant parents regardless of whether you are considering adoption or are looking for information to help you and your baby. We work with pregnant women, birth mothers, birth fathers, and families interested in adoption. We also assist pregnant women who are looking for ways to parent and care for their children.
Potential Adoptive Families:
Our staff is committed to helping you find the adoption option that is right for you. We provide you with information and support needed during your adoption journey.
