Adoption Service
Welcome to Catholic Caring Services Adoption pages.
Catholic Caring Services has been an Approved Adoption Agency since 1943, working to recruit, train and support adoptive families in Lancashire and Cumbria.
The members of our Adoption team are specialist professionals who have a wealth of experience of work with children and adoptive applicants, and of placing children for adoption. We hope to answer many of your questions about adoption on this site.
If you want to learn more, or take your interest in adoption further, you can write, telephone or e-mail us adoption@catholiccaringservices.org.uk.

Comments from Adopters:
"Catholic Caring Services is wonderful, they don't just close the book after they have supplied the information they have, but keep the door open for as long as it is needed."
"The service was faultless, and I cannot praise them enough for their professionalism."
"My experience of Catholic Caring Services has been one of a caring, responsible, approachable and supportive agency."
