ARE THERE AGE REQUIREMENTS TO WORK WITH CATHOLIC CHARITIES?
Catholic Charities’ minimum age for adoptive parents is 25. For international adoption, the agency prefers that clients be under 50 years old for most children. International sources may have more restrictive requirements and the older parents might be required to adopt an older child. The maximum recommended age for domestic adoption services through the agency is 45. With an “identified adoption,” this may be more flexible depending on the preferences of the birthparents.
