C.A.R.A.

Child Adoption Resource Association, Inc. (CARA) is a state licensed, non-profit adoption agency serving all of Connecticut. CARA specializes in personalized services for expectant parents and adoptive families.

We help with the adoption of children of all ages and races, from the United States as well as other countries. We provide home studies and educational training for all types of adoption.

CARA counsels pregnant women considering placing children for adoption and we place a limited number of infants born in Connecticut. CARA belongs to a network of placement agencies that place children from the United States and many other countries. CARA also does home studies and provides post-placement services for children adopted from state foster care systems. Many of these children are African-American, Latino/Latina, or multiracial, part of sibling groups, or have other special emotional or physical needs.

We are here to help you begin your adoption journey. We invite you to our office for a free individual informational session, or you can join us for a session at Borders Bookstore in Waterford, Meriden, or Fairfield on the first Wed. of each month at 7 p.m. (on holiday weeks it will be on the second Wed.).
