Holt first pioneered international adoption in 1956 and has grown and changed significantly over the last 65+ years. This series of infographics compares where we have been with where we are today as an international adoption agency.
One of the most significant changes is that the average child on the international adoption track is older and may have more special needs. Another is that the process takes longer. Today, we pursue family reunification for a child and then adoption in their birth country before exploring international adoption to unite them with a permanent family. We also emphasize post-adoption services in order to support adoptees throughout their lives! Much has changed, but our commitment to children and families remains the same.
