Frequently Asked Questions About Catholic Charities North Dakota
Does the guardianship division for intellectual disabilities serve both children and adults?
The guardianship division for intellectual disabilities (GDID) exclusively provides guardianship services for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. For more information about our services, please contact our adoption agency at Catholic Charities North Dakota.
Who pays for the petitioning costs to establish guardianship with the GDID program?
If an individual is being referred to our program, we have funding available to cover the petitioning costs associated with establishing guardianship. However, if you're seeking guardianship for a family member, you may be responsible for these costs unless the individual has the means to cover them. For more detailed information, please contact our adoption agency.
Who do you serve in the guardianship division for intellectual disabilities program?
Our guardianship division for intellectual disabilities (GDID) program is specifically designed to serve adults with intellectual disabilities who are 18 years of age or older. For additional information about our services, please reach out to our adoption agency.
Can I just sign up for the guardianship services for the vulnerable program with you to give me advice and have you pay my bills?
Guardianship or conservatorship is not a simple sign-up process. It requires a legal procedure to verify incapacity and must go through the court system. If you need more information about this process, our adoption agency is available to assist you. Please contact us for further clarification.
Do you need to have insurance to receive counseling services?
Insurance is not a requirement to receive our counseling services. We offer a sliding fee scale based on income for clients without insurance to ensure our services are affordable. Whether you're seeking counseling or adoption services, our team is here to assist you.
Do I have to be Catholic to receive help at Catholic Charities North Dakota?
Our pregnancy, parenting, and adoption services (PPAS) program is open to individuals of all faiths. We welcome you to contact our adoption agency for assistance, regardless of your religious affiliation.
Will you pressure me to give up my baby?
We absolutely do not pressure anyone into making a decision about their baby. Our PPAS program is designed to support you through the decision-making process by providing information, asking relevant questions, and allowing you the time you need to determine what's best for you and your baby. We maintain a neutral stance, with approximately half of our clients choosing to parent and half opting for adoption. For more information about our supportive approach, please contact our parenting and adoption agency.
What does it cost to receive pregnancy services from the pregnancy, parenting, and adoption services program?
All of our pregnancy and adoption services for birth mothers are provided at no cost. This is one of the reasons why individuals seeking a reliable adoption agency choose to work with us.
What happens if I choose to parent rather than create an adoption plan for my child? Can you still help me?
Absolutely, we continue to provide support if you choose to parent your child. We can provide donated baby supplies and offer parenting education to help you prepare for parenthood. Our team is committed to supporting you throughout your pregnancy, during labor and delivery, and even after your baby is born. Whether you're considering adoption or need support with your pregnancy, our team is here to assist you.
Can I choose who will adopt my baby?
Yes, you have the option to choose the adoptive family for your baby. Some individuals come to us with a relative or family member in mind for adoption, and we assist both the birth family and the adoptive family in these cases. For those seeking an adoptive family, we have a number of pre-approved families who have completed an intensive home study process. You'll have the opportunity to review their profiles and select the family you feel is the best fit for your adoption plan.
