Foster Care and Adoption

Foster Care and Adoption

Catholic Charities foster care program helps qualified individuals and couples become licensed foster parents. Our case managers facilitate the initial training and continue to provide ongoing training, resources and support. We recruit and support foster parents, therapeutic foster parents, kinship foster parents and unaccompanied minor foster parents.

Back in 2017, David and Marley had no idea that a test of their love and faith would bring an unexpected blessing. Shortly before their wedding, David was diagnosed with leukemia. Treatment would result in infertility for David, but their main priority was his health.

Catholic Charities has been facilitating adoptions in Arizona since the 1930s. As a licensed adoption agency, Catholic Charities is required to keep adoption records for 99 years. Staff often hear from people connected to these adoptions who are seeking medical information, details about their birth circumstances, or even the possibility of reconnecting with birth parents.
