Telling the Truth to your Adopted or Foster Child: Making Sense of the Past
Presenter Jayne Schooler
Adoption educator and author
When should children know the truth about their adoption story? Should it be the whole truth? How do we tell them the difficult and painful facts from the past? What challenges are there for pre-teens and teens in knowing about their past? This interactive workshop will discuss these questions and more as we journey through the importance of talking to our children about their adoption story.

Greetings Adoption Inquirer
Thank you for your inquiry about the adoption program of Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio.
Catholic Charities provides services for both domestic and international adoptions.
We are a child placing agency which means we take custody of infants who are surrendered by birthparents for the purpose of adoption.
We are a Homestudy agency for international adoption and are able to conduct homestudies for families wishing to adopt from any country.
As of February 1, 2011 we are not accepting applications for domestic adoptions. We hope to schedule information meetings and accept applications in the Fall of 2011.
The agency policies and information packet will be provided at your request.
Please feel free to contact us for more information and answers to your questions
