About this service
Catholic Social Services of Montana began practicing open adoption many years ago because we believe it to be in the best interests of the child.
We arrange for the expectant parents to choose and meet the adoptive family. We assist in facilitating the exchange of names, contact information, and medical information, when appropriate. We help the families plan for a continuing relationship, which may include the exchange of letters, photographs, and the scheduling of visitations.
