New Referrals from East Africa
Holt is pleased to announce the beginning of a pilot adoption program. We are recruiting a few families with pioneering spirits, who are experienced parents, and are flexible. Applicants should be open to older children and/or those with some special needs. Families should be prepared for some bumps in the process as we are starting this new program. If you are interested in the program or one of the specific children available, please contact one of our Africa staff to discuss the program first. Director Pat McConnell: patm@holtintl.org; Assistants Stephanie Gibson: stephanieg@holtintl.org, Jennifer Dalton: jenniferdalton@holtintl.org.
