Adoption Services
Reflecting the Heart of a God Who Adopts
Through Christ, we have been adopted into the family of God. Adoption is not merely a legal process — it is a picture of redemption.​ We believe every child deserves a permanent, loving family, and every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy deserves dignity, clarity, and support.​ Adoption is not simply about placement. It is about restoring hope and reflecting the redemptive love of God.
Christian Adoption Services (CAS) is the licensed adoption agency of Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina. For decades, CAS has provided ethical, faith-based adoption services that prioritize the wellbeing of children and honor birth families with dignity.
​
Through CAS, we provide comprehensive domestic adoption services, professional guidance, and lifelong support rooted in Christian conviction and best practices.
