California Branch Office
Our adoption services are open to all families living in CA, even if you are using another placing agency.
We can help you adopt via international or U.S. adoption. If you are already working with another agency, we can complete your homestudy and provide post-placement services.
Exploring Adoption?
We Can Help.
We offer caring support from experienced social workers who will assist you with your international or U.S. adoption.
Holt knows how important it is for prospective adoptive families to feel supported throughout the process. Our knowledgeable social workers are here to answer questions and offer guidance throughout your adoption.
Homestudy Services
We can facilitate homestudies for families who are adopting internationally or in the U.S., even if you are with another placing agency.
International Adoption Services
If you are adopting internationally through Holt, we will conduct your homestudy and serve as a resource throughout the process. You can also look to us for post-adoption support and referrals.
U.S. Adoption Services
We can offer support and referrals for families adopting in the United States. If you live in Illinois or Wisconsin, we are looking for qualified adoptive families for infants who need loving families.
Adoption Information Meeting
Want to learn more about international or domestic adoption? Attend a free adoption information meeting to learn about the adoption process from an experienced Holt social worker. We will cover eligibility requirements, the homestudy, common child profiles and Holt’s mission of finding a loving and secure home for every child. Our hope is to help you navigate through this process and answer whatever questions you may have. To register, please see the upcoming dates below.
