Commonwealth
Catholic Charities offers an array
of options for parents considering
adoption. The choice is yours.
One of CCC's happy adoptive families.
Agency
Agency-assisted adoptions have
been a safe and secure means of
adopting children for decades.
It can vary from traditional semi-open
adoptions to fully open adoption.
International
International adoption has
grown in recent years in response
to the plight of orphaned
children around the world.
It also provides an alternative
to the longer waiting period
for domestic adoption. CCC works in cooperation with a number of US intermediary agencies for the placement of children from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
Parental
Placement
Parental Placement Adoption
is growing across the country
as a response to birth parents
and couples wanting more control
over the adoption process.
This can be a fully open adoption
with identifying information
exchanged or semi-open depending on the wishes of the families involved.
