T he need to recruit adoptive fam ilies reflects changes in adop tion trends in this country, as w ell as the openness o f countries, like China, to the concept o f interna tional adoption. Susan Soon-K eum Cox, H o lt’s spokesperson, says, “T he adoption picture has changed dram atically in this country. It used to be that fam ilies w anting to adopt could w ait a long time. N ow , it is children w ho are w aiting for families. The need to get them out o f orphanages and into adoptive fam ilies is quite urgent. F or som e children, inter country adoption is the only hope they have.” For more inform ation call K athie Stocker at 503-246-3236. H H olt International C hildren’s Services, a non-profit organization, has been serving homeless chil dren overseas since 1956. H olt’s programs emphasize caring forchil- dren with warm, affectionate care while trying to place the children in permanent families as quickly as possible. Holt’s first priority is to return children to birth parents; however, Holt places children with adoptive fiunilies in the child ’ s birth country or with families in the UnitedStates. Holt has placed 50,000 children with adoptive fiunilies.
