Frequently Asked Questions

Q - Are the children adoptable?

A – Approximately two thirds of the girls at Casa Hogar Santa Julia Don Bosco, A.C., have been left there by their parents because their parents have lost their jobs, their spouses, their health, their homes, or some other vital component of a healthy life. Most of the rest of the children have been given to the care of the nuns because a law enforcement agency or a social service agency has sought that refuge for them. A small number of the children have found their way to Santa Julia because their parents were not findable. So, only a few of the children are adoptable because most have parents and those parents do not wish to waive parental rights in hopes of becoming able to take care of their children in the future. 

Q – What are the ages of the children?

A – The children generally range in age from infant through 18.  That said, we have older residents who are completing their schooling as they did not get an appropriate start, and we have a young woman who is moderately retarded.  She is with us because there is no more suitable place for her.
