Adoption
Providing hope and options
Catholic Charities has a long tradition of viewing adoption as a beneficial and lifelong process which creates special questions, needs, and concerns that can be assisted with the help of sensitive and respectful professionals. The agency is committed to the rights and well-being of each member of the adoption triad: the birth parents, the adoptive parents and the adoptee.
A range of service options are available. They include:
Information and referral
Post-adoption counseling
Linkage and exchange services for birth parents and adoptive families
Non-identifying information reports
Family medical history searches
Liaison with other child-placing agencies
Search and reunion assistance
For these services contact Catholic Charities of Sarasota County.
