CSCS maintains all records of agency adoptions conducted since 1977.  We follow all Mississippi State Laws regarding the release of adoption information. 

The law is as follows:

Obtaining Non-Identifying Information:  Adopted adults age 18 or older, adoptive parents or legal guardians, or offspring, or birth siblings of adopted adults age 18 or older may obtain non-identifying information.  If an adopted adult, adoptive parent, or legal guardian, offspring or birth siblings of an adopted adult request more information regarding the adopted adult or birth parents, he or she may ask the agency to search for information.

Obtaining Identifying Information:  Adopted adults age 21 or older can receive information regarding the birth parents if the birth parents have filed consent.  Adopted adults can request that the agency search for and contact the birth parents.  Adopted adults may also petition the court.

If you were adopted through Catholic Social & Communtiy Services or a birth parent who placed through this agency, please call 1-855-847-0555 or complete the Search Request Form to intiate the search process.
