Once a “waiting child,” Qiu Ni came home to her family in 2012.
This National Adoption Month, we invite you to share in our commitment to find loving adoptive families for children!
At Holt, we believe every child deserves to grow up in a loving and secure home. But right now, Holt has far more referrals for children than we have families to adopt them… especially from China and Korea. Older children, children with special needs and boys need advocates in particular!
Throughout the month of November, we will share stories on our blog and social media pages about children waiting for families. You would not believe the number of children whose families first saw them on the Holt blog or Facebook page — children like Qiu Ni, who we featured in 2011 as “Natalie.” When a woman in California saw her story on our blog, she immediately contacted our waiting child program. Qiu Ni came home to her family in 2012.
If you are a family considering adoption, National Adoption Month is also an extraordinary time to begin your journey. Follow the Holt blog for candid stories from veteran adoptive families as well as educational posts to dispel myths and answer frequently asked questions about international adoption.
And if you are an adoptee or adoptive family, celebrate adoption by sharing your own story or donating to the Special Needs Adoption Fund — helping another family adopt and another child come home.
