  <body>WHEN: This class will continue to be offered the first Saturday of every month from 10am-3pm

Regardless of what agency or attorney you choose to go with, this class will answer many questions that adoptive couples ask.

Topics of Discussion include:
 * Birth Family:  Who are they and how do they come to Catholic Charities? What about the birth father?

 * Adoption Family:  What is a home study? How long does the process take? When will the child be placed in my home?

 * Legal Process: Can the birth family change their minds? Will we have to go to court? Do we have to hire an attorney?

 * Agency: How many placements does Catholic Charities do?  Who will we be working with? What are the costs involved? 

Please call our office at 850-436-6411 to sign up for the month that you are able to attend.
