Post-Adoption Support
If you were adopted through Catholic Charities, support is available for you and your family.
Feeling a secure sense of belonging can be difficult for those whose lives have been touched by adoption.
If you were adopted through Catholic Charities and want support, our post-adoption services team is here for you. Get help learning about, finding, reunifying, and communicating with your birth or adoptive families. Access support groups or attend the annual Homecoming Mass and Reunion.
See below for more information.
You may qualify to receive post-adoption services if you were adopted through Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Reach out to Lisa Francis, LCSW, to learn more: (312) 655-7088 or lfrancis@catholiccharities.net
Every September, we host an annual Homecoming Mass and Reunion for adoptees from the former St. Vincent Orphanage — now home to our downtown Chicago headquarters. Reach out to Lisa Francis, LCSW, to learn more: (312) 655-7088 or lfrancis@catholiccharities.net
This is no ordinary building — this is St. Vincent’s. It’s always been filled with warmth and love. It is our hope that our past adoptees feel that love."
