Children Need You...
Older children, brothers and
sisters who need to stay together and children with medical
problems such as babies born with cocaine in their systems
need you the most. However, healthy, younger children
need you too.
You Need To Be At
Least 21 Years Old Your age will be taken into
consideration in relation to the age of the children placed in
your home.
You Don't Have To Be
Catholic The children waiting to be
adopted, adoptive families, foster families and staff at
Catholic Charities are of many faiths and beliefs.
You Don't Have To Be
Married You may work, as long as you
have a reliable child care plan.
You Don't Have To Be A
Stay-At-Home Parent You may
be a renter or a homeowner. Children may live in your
home as long as you have adequate bedroom space.
Catholic Charities
Will Walk You Through The Process
Trained staff from Catholic
Charities Children's Services will guide you through the
process, step by step, as you make the decision to share your
love and home with a child who is waiting for you.
There Are No Income
Requirements Children are waiting who can be adopted with no adoption fee.
Monthly subsidies are available for adopted children over age
3, for younger children with special needs and for groups of
brothers and sisters. Foster families receive monthly
payments to cover expenses. Medical cards cover medical
and dental treatment. Your ability to love and nurture a
child is more important than your financial situation.
If You Cannot Adopt,
There Is Another Way You Can Help
Foster families for children of
all ages are also desperately needed. You can provide
loving, temporary care for children until they can safely
return home.
