Older Child Adoption
While most private adoptions are for infants or newborns, there are times with a birth parent decides that the best decision for an older child is adoption. We have completed private adoptions for children as old as age 7. These children never enter the child welfare system. We are able to work with the birth parents to find an appropriate adoptive family privately. Birth parents of older children can chose an adoptive family for their older child, just as they can for an infant. All of our adoptive families are active Christians who are excited to expand their families through adoption.
Since the dynamics of an older child adoption are different, our agency is happy to offer counseling and support services to the birth family, children and adoptive family before, during and after the adoption process. We recognize that while adoption might be the right choice for a birth family, there is a significant transition phase for all involved. We are committed to ensuring that our adoptions are successful. We will be with you each step of the way.
At Christian Services of Oklahoma, we are pleased to assist with your adoption of an older child.

Testimonials
I wanted to take time to thank you for all your hard work and kindness. I feel so blessed to have met you and that God put you in my life just at the perfect time when I needed you! You truly have a heart for service, it definitely shows in the work you do for young women who are hurting and need you to help them through their tough decisions. Thank you for your patience and for all the many times you encouraged me and gave me advice. Thank you for having faith in me when I needed it the most. I needed someone to believe in me, and you were one of the few people that did that! It's very hard to imagine how I would have gotten through this painful experience without your love, dedication to me, as well as your consistent support. Thank you for helping me see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel! I will always be grateful for your presence in my life, when I felt so alone and scared. You have comforted me in more ways than you know! I pray that God will bless Christian Services and the women who will come to you for help they will be blessed by you!
Love, Sarah
