    • Adoption Program

    Adoption Services are permanently closed as of October 1, 2016. This includes post adoption services which will be provided by Lutheran Social Service.

    Catholic Charities has a long relationship with Lutheran Social Service and we are confident they will continue to serve our clients well.

    We have seen the need for domestic infant adoptions decline significantly over the years and have come to the realization that there was diminished need for the services and that it can be met by other organizations in our community.
