Orientation Schedule 2012

Catholic Charities Adoption Services

Unless otherwise specified, orientation sessions are held in St. Cloud from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. the second Wednesday of each month at the Catholic Charities building at 157 Roosevelt Road, Suite 200, St. Cloud (behind Tenvoorde Ford). The dates are as follows:

General topics of discussion at orientations include Minnesota adoption guidelines, domestic and international adoptions, infant and special needs and older child adoptions, fees, wait times, length and description of process, and question-an-answer time. Orientations are free of charge and open to all who are interested in adopting, and are a required first step in the adoption process for those who have not adopted previously.

Please call or email to RSVP for the session of your choice.

To RSVP, or if you have questions, please contact Maggie Schefers, Intake Coordinator/Program Assistant, at (320) 650-1666 or email mschefers@ccstcloud.org.
