Adoption Services

Welcome to Catholic Charities Adoption Program! Catholic Charities has been providing adoption services for over 100 years. We are a licensed child welfare agency with the State of Illinois. Catholic Charities has several adoption programs to assist you in your adoption journey. For a variety of reasons our adoption services are on a temporary hiatus. Over the course of 2019, we will evaluate the program and determine the program's future structure and scope. Please feel free to check in for updates, and pray for our efforts to serve.
