Baptist – SBCMeet Christian Adoption Services

Christian Adoption Services (CAS) is a Christ-centered, full service adoption ministry of Baptist Children’s Home of North Carolina (BCH) called to work with and serve expectant mothers who have decided to place their baby for adoption. CAS also works with hopeful adoptive families to screen and prepare them for the process and purpose of their journey. CAS cares for the vulnerable and connects children with loving, Christian forever families.

Founded in 1979, the agency has assisted in the placement of over 2,000 children into loving, Christian families. Acquired by BCH, CAS serves both expectant mothers and families looking to adopt, acting as a leader in connecting forever families with mothers in crisis. At its core, they believe that every child deserves a permanent, loving family, and every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy deserves dignity, clarity, and support.
