Meet Our Families

As you consider adoption for your baby, Catholic Charities has many hopeful adoptive families waiting to welcome a child into their arms and home. Please feel free to browse the profiles below to get to know more about each family.

Catholic Charities works with several Amish and Mennonite families as well. The offices have additional profiles to view along with the ones seen on the website. If an expectant parent decides she does not want to select a family, it is the program's procedure to find the "best fit" for her based on the parameters she provides, beginning with the family who has been active the longest.

This is a big decision filled with many emotions and we don’t take that lightly. Feel free to take your time. If you have further questions about a family or desire additional information, please contact us. We would also be happy to schedule a time for you to meet a family or families, if you wish, as we know that in-person connection is so important. Lastly, please reach out to us if we can support you while browsing families. Our Pregnancy Support Social Workers are here to assist you-you are not alone!

All families listed have completed a thorough and comprehensive home study through Catholic Charities and each family meets the State of Wisconsin requirements to adopt. This ensures that your baby will be placed into a loving and safe home.
