 Since 1982, Catholic Charities staff has had many positive
experiences assisting with adoption reunions, and would like to help
others if they wish.
Birthparent/Adoptee Searches
We can assist in the location of birthmothers, and in some cases birthfather,
for adopted persons over the age of nineteen who were placed through
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Winona.
Birthparents may ask Catholic Charities to locate their birth children
over the age of nineteen.
Adoptive parents on behalf of their adopted child, if before the nineteenth
birthday, may make the same request.
Happily, Catholic Charities staff has almost 100% success rate in finding
birthmothers. Catholic Charities has great success in
finding birthfathers as well.
Background Summary Searches
Summaries of non-identifying background social and medical information
about a birth family can also be done for adopted adults.
We know that adoption is a life-long journey
and Catholic Charities is an important part of that journey.
