History

---

Christian Services of Oklahoma (CSO) is a not for profit, licensed child placing agency in Oklahoma. CSO operates a private adoption program, completing domestic adoptions and assisting in international placements; and a contracted foster care program in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services.

Colorado Christian Services opened a satellite office in Oklahoma in 1990. As the branch office grew and became self sufficient, a formal separation from CCS occurred in the year 2000, with the incorporation of Christian Services of Oklahoma, Inc. Christian Services of Oklahoma is a Church of Christ-affiliated organization.

Christian Services of Oklahoma continues its original purpose, which is serving women in unplanned pregnancies and helping to place their children through adoption with infertile families. A maternity home in Edmond, Oklahoma was opened in 2004 to provide needed housing for homeless women considering an adoption plan for their children. In 2008, Christian Services was awarded a contract with the State of Oklahoma for a contract foster care program to provide foster homes for infants in state custody.

Since 2000, we have placed 111 children in homes through adoption or foster care. In 2010 we served 87 birth mothers through counseling, case management and adoption services; four women in our maternity home; twenty-two families through domestic and international adoption services; three children through domestic adoption placement; two children through international adoption placement supervision; fourteen foster families; and fifteen children through foster care placement.
