In the 1960's and 1970's, Catholic Family Services on Prince Edward Island placed many of the children that were placed for adoption in The United States. For the most part they were placed in New York and New Jersey, so if you are a Birth Family member that is looking in the U.S. here are the Catholic Family Services agencies that are in those two states. You may want to write or contact the following agencies to see if the person you are looking for was placed through their agency.
