Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Omaha, Inc. - Adoption Services

At Catholic Charities, we believe the adoption process must honor every member of the adoption circle. With this belief we practice child-centered, fully open adoption. Catholic Charities serves prospective adoptive families throughout the 23 counties of the Archdiocese of Omaha, as well as the Lincoln and Grand Island Areas. Birth parents choose their child's parents and we facilitate child-centered, fully open adoptions. We work with adoptive and birth parents to form an adoption plan that best reflects their shared vision. Nebraska laws require that any couple wishing to adopt a child have a pre-placement home study completed by a licensed child-placing agency. A home study consists of interviews with the prospective parents to assess character, stability and preparedness to parent by adoption. Background checks, health assessments and references are required elements of the home study.
