Infants: Catholic Social Services provides an infant adoption program. This is primarily for childless, married couples who may qualify in providing a stable, nurturing home for an infant.
Foster-Adopt: If a child remains in Foster Care for an extended period of time, and the circumstance warranting placement has not changed, the placing agency may change the goal to adoption. This change of goal is always done to serve the best interest of the child. In that case, Foster Parents who have been caring for the child are asked to consider being an adoptive resource.
International Adoption: Our agency provides a variety of pre- and post-adoption services and family profiles throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, regardless of the international agency one chooses to complete the adoption.
Family Profile: Completing the family profile process is a necessary first step as a family begins the adoption journey. CSS adoption staff is happy to provide home study services to Northeastern Pennsylvania families adopting domestically or internationally, using our agency or other placement agencies throughout the United States.
State Wide Adoption Network (SWAN): The agency is also a service provider for the Pennsylvania State Wide Adoption and Permanency Network. There are numerous children with special needs throughout the state that need permanent homes. Families are needed to provide permanency for these children who have been languishing within the system. These children may be older or have some special needs, but still need the nurturance of a permanent family.
