Holt International reopened its adoption program in Northeast Asia in early 2024 to help children join loving, permanent families through international adoption.
In Northeast Asia, children waiting for families are typically 9-14 years old at the time of placement and have developmental, medical and/or emotional needs. Children often enter care due to neglect, abandonment or the death of their parents. Children live in care centers while they wait for their adoptive family, and there is a significant amount of information about the child once they enter care.
