oltlntem ational C hildren’s
Services, the country’s old­
est and largest intercountry adop­
tion agency, is looking for fam ilies
interested in adopting a child from
overseas.
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.
