Meet Waiting Families
St. Mary’s waiting families have completed the home study process and are approved by St. Mary’s to adopt. They are thoroughly screened to ensure that all children placed in their care will be safe. They also are required to become educated on adoption and parenting to help them be the best parents possible.
To learn more about any of these families, contact St. Mary’s at 1-888-ST-MARYS or 847-870-8181 (outside Illinois) or email information@stmaryservices.com.
