Yes

The agency accepts clients whose adoption was handled by Children's Aid and Family Services. In 2021 Children’s Aid and Family Services began a new Navigations Birth Family Reunion and Support program. In this program the Children’s Aid and Family Services search and reunion team extends its services to those people who may not have been adopted through CAFS and who have located their birth families. They may not be comfortable making the initial contact with their birth family and are looking for an intermediary to facilitate the reunion journey with their birth families from first contact planning to personal counseling. Those interested should contact navigations@cafsnj.org or call 201-740-7135.
