Northeast Branch Office
Adoption services for families in NJ, NY and PA are available from Holt’s Northeast Branch, even if you are using another placing agency.
We can help you adopt via international or U.S. adoption. If you are already working with another agency, we can complete your homestudy and provide post-placement services.
Join us for an upcoming adoption information meeting!
These remote meetings are open to families anywhere in the U.S.
