Search and Reunion

(501) 664-0340, ext. 347

Catholic Adoption Services was licensed in April 1984 and has since assisted with or completed hundreds of adoptions. Before we were licensed, the Diocese of Little Rock was involved in a number of adoptions that had a Catholic connection, and about which we now retain some limited information. If you know that your adoption was linked to the Catholic Church you may contact us to see if we have any records of your adoption. We may be able to assist you with the search and reunion process.

Look for Medical Information

Adoption Search Request

If your adoption was completed by our agency you may also make a request for background and non-identifying information from your file records. You will need to contact us and complete an adoption search request form. You will also need to provide identification confirming your identity.

A consent process exists to help our birth parents and adoptees (18 and older) make contact with the help of our agency through mutual voluntary consent.

Getting Started

Consent for Contact

(501) 664-0340, ext. 347

There have been changes in Arkansas adoption laws through the years. A consent process was established to assist birth parents and adoptees (18 and older) make contact with the help of our agency through mutual voluntary consent. Contact us and one of our counselors can answer your questions and discuss the search and reunion process. It is your choice whether or not you wish to proceed. We encourage you to provide information for your file. One hour of reunion counseling with the agency is required for both the adoptee and birth parent prior to actually making contact.

If We Didn't Process Your Adoption

Contact for Other Agencies

If your adoption was not with our agency or through the Diocese of Little Rock, then you will need to contact the agency or attorney that completed your adoption. If your adoption was through the Arkansas Department of Human Services' Division of Children and Family Services, then sign up with the Arkansas Mutual Consent Voluntary Adoption Registry. For more information, call them at (501) 682-8462.

If you are an adoptee who is 21 years old or older, you can also request your adoption file from the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH). The ADH file usually includes the original birth certificate and the adoption decree.
