Adopt a Child

At CSSW, adoption means finding permanent homes for children. CSSW offers a variety of adoption programs including: Infant and Toddler Adoption, African American Infant Adoption, Special Needs Adoption, Stepparent/Relative Adoption (available in Milwaukee) and Adoption Search.

The focus of voluntary adoption today is choice: choices for birthparents and adoptive parents as they make mutual placement decisions and discuss the degree of openness that will be part of their relationship. Adoption can also occur when a court has determined that children are no longer able to live with their birthparents. Many of these children have special needs and require families who can commit themselves to parenting these children.

No matter how a child comes to the adoption process, our goal is to place each child we serve in a loving, nurturing, permanent and stable home. We also provide home studies for stepparent and relative adoptions. We can assist foster parents who would like to convert from a foster home to an adoptive home. And, we provide search services for adoptees who were adopted through CSSW.

CSSW believes that a family is always a family, no matter how they became one. Just like individuals, families come from all different ethnicities and backgrounds. Through all of CSSW's adoption programs, we help individuals learn more about the adoption process, guide them through the ups and downs of adoption and help prepare them for their new family.
