Birth Parent Information

Children's Aid Society assists individuals who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and wish to consider adoption as an option. We are firmly committed to the belief that birth parents have the right to make decisions for themselves as well as their children. Birth parents who have chosen adoption are encouraged to select the type of family desired for the child. Their preferences for the adopting family's geographic location, religious affiliation and lifestyle are given the highest consideration. The wishes of the birth parents concerning the degree of openness with the adopting family are also respected.

"Someone I know is considering placing a child for adoption. What needs to be done?" Call us at (814) 765-2686 or (814) 592-3482, and we will gladly assist you through the process. We average 15-20 prospective adoptive families on our waiting list, and we will be happy to help the birth parent, hospital, physician or agency to find a suitable match.
