We are pleased to announce that CFCS Adoption Services will be celebrating a special milestone in March 2012 as we mark our 65th anniversary year. Since 1947, the agency has created adoptive homes for 1,841 children. The anniversary year will mark the enormous contribution the Diocese of Paterson and Catholic Charities, as a whole, has made to children and childless couples in the diocese over 65 years.
