Does CARITAS have direct involvement with inter-country adoption of children?
CARITAS was founded with the goal of promoting and assisting individual families wanting to adopt children in Poland. CARITAS is not a licensed adoption agency; but does advocate for adoption. In 1999, CARITAS assisted the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago to create an inter-country adoption program for American families wanting to adopt from Poland. Since then, CARITAS has continued to support the Catholic Charities Adoption Programs and provides limited and informal information about adopting children from Poland. For more specific information we urge you to contact the Adoption Department of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, 312-655-7000.
