Catholic Charities has been placing children in adoptive homes since 1902. Their mission is to support and encourage women to make life-affirming decisions for their unborn children. Since their adoption program is rooted in their Pregnancy Service, most of the children they place are infants. Over the years they have been blessed with exceptional openhearted adoptive parents who genuinely desire a life-long relationship with the birth parents of their adopted children. Their adoptive families are the backbone of the program. They work with families without distinction as to race, color, or creed who are ready for an open adoption. They have found that although many prospective adoptive parents have an initial skepticism about open adoption, once they have received more information and have attended their Orientation class, they heartily endorse and enjoy this respectful and loving form of adoption.
Love's Choice was created to take an honest look at the painful beauty of adoption, and to provide tools to help each woman honestly assess the choices before her.
Love's Choice provides facts about adoption and tools to help plan for birth, adoption and parenting. Most importantly, we share personal stories from real people who have experienced adoption - adopted children, adoptive parents, and birthmothers.
