Services are provided by Catholic Charities in partnership with the State of Wisconsin, Department of Children and Families. ADOPTION IS FOREVER
Adoption is a lifetime commitment. Birth parents, adult adoptees, and adoptive families can sometimes find themselves facing unforeseen events for which they do not know where to go for answers or support. We want you to know that you are not alone. When
you do need help, there is support available through the Post Adoption Resource Center of Southern Wisconsin (PARC). WHO'S ELIGIBLE
PARC's services are offered to all adoptive families in the adoption triad (i.e. birth parents, adult adoptees, adoptive families) including all types of adoptions: domestic, international, independent, special-needs, or stepparent/relative adoptions in Southern Wisconsin. Your adoption did not have to occur through Catholic Charities in order to receive services. PARC OFFERS
*Education, referral and support services for birth parents, adult adoptees, adoptive families, and professionals.
*A free lending library with books, magazines and DVDs on adoption-related issues.
*Referrals to service providers such as therapists, who specialize in adoption-related issues and respite providers.
*Local support group list. If needed, a post adoption specialist will assist in developing a specific support group in a given area.
*Adoption-related school presentations to teachers and students. Contact PARC if you would like a post adoption specialist to present at your child's school.
*Quarterly newsletters that are filled with information and upcoming events for your family.
*Adoption celebration events, such as our annual adoption picnic and camping weekend for adoptive families. Other special adoption events are planned periodically throughout the year. AREAS SERVED
