Forming Families through Adoption

November 10, 2014 By Bishop Kevin J. Farrell


Catholic Charities of Dallas is committed to building families…one child at a time. Every child needs and deserves a home with the love and support of a mother and a father. As we observe National Adoption Awareness Month, we celebrate all of those wonderful families that have been formed through adoption.

Due to a variety of circumstances, there are birth parents who recognize they are unable to provide for their child. Some are birth mothers who were courageous enough to choose adoption not abortion for their baby but are unable to provide the home and family the child needs. It is a blessing for birth parents to have Catholic Charities to turn to for assistance in making an adoption plan.

For couples wishing to parent a child from infant to six months, Catholic Charities’ Infant Adoption program offers the assistance needed to make the right choice for the birth parents, adoptive parents, and, most importantly, the child.

There are other children who are in the foster care system, who live day-to-day, never knowing when or where they will move next.  They long to be a permanent part of a “forever family.” Catholic Charities Finally Home program places children three or older currently in foster care for adoption by a family who will provide the love, care and security that only a “forever home” can give them.

If you or someone you know is experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and needs to find such a home for a baby, please call Catholic Charities hotline at 1-800-222-9383 (1-800-BABY-DUE) to get more information.

If you are a couple that has love to share and are considering forming your family through adoption, please call (214) 526-2772 to schedule an appointment.  It will be the first step in experiencing the unconditional love and excitement that children bring.
