Adopt from Haiti

Since 2004, Holt has helped unite over 80 children from Haiti with permanent, loving families in the U.S.

On This Page:

Many children in Haiti are waiting for a permanent, loving family.

In Haiti, children waiting for families are typically older than age 5 and have special medical or developmental needs. Holt’s Haiti teams both in country and in the U.S. are highly experienced in the field of adoption and will support you throughout your process — including as you travel to Haiti to complete your adoption. As an organization, Holt has also participated in advocacy efforts to influence best practice in the service of children and families from this region. We will go above and beyond to provide all the support and resources you need, and ensure you feel informed and prepared every step of the way.
