A strong beginning…
Holt began finding families for children in China in 1993.
At the time, the process to adopt from this newly opened country was relatively smooth and quick. And the children were primarily healthy, infant girls. Throughout the 1990s, Holt placed hundreds of children in loving, permanent homes and developed numerous child welfare programs to serve children awaiting adoption in China.

The New Faces of China Adoption
A changing landscape…
As time progressed, several factors changed the landscape for adoption from China. China's economy improved, enabling more children to join adoptive families in their birth country. At the same time, the number of applications to adopt increased dramatically. Children with special needs began to outnumber other available children, the timeframe to adopt lengthened, and fewer children came home to families in the U.S.

Adaptation and growth…
At Holt, our staff overcame these new challenges to find families for more than 1,000 children – all of them with special medical and developmental needs, older in age or part of a sibling group. China helped advocate for these children, expediting the adoption process. While the process to adopt a child with no known health conditions slowed, it became much quicker to adopt a child with special needs.
