Holt International began working in adoption in the 1950s as
the agency’s founders adopted 8 Korean Children. The concept
of intercountry adoption was new and they saw the opportunity
at the end of the Korean War. They worked hard as adoption advocates
changing the perception of adoption as Holt International continues
to do today.
The agency also works to provide services for birthparents, adoptees
and adoptive parents throughout their lives.
