Jim & Doris Woodward, Co-Founders

CAS was founded in 1979 as a result of the success that Doris Woodward had in facilitating adoptions from her native country of El Salvador. When the agency’s office moved to North Carolina from Maine in 1989, a counseling program evolved from the agency’s response to pregnant women who were exploring the option of adoption. Since 1979, we have assisted in the placement of over 2,000 children into loving, Christian families.
