Holt International Children's Services (Eugene, Oregon)
"Holt International Children's Services were the originators of intercountry adoption, when in 1955, Harry and Bertha Holt responded to the conviction that God had called them to help children left homeless by the Korean War. Though it took an act of Congress, the Holts adopted eight of those children. But they were moved by the desperate plight of other orphaned children in Korea and other countries as well. Thus they founded Holt International Children's Services in order to unite homeless children with families who would love them as their own. Today Holt International serves children and families in: Korea, India, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guatemala, Ecuador, Romania, China, and the United States."

"Founded in 1976, WACAP believes that all children are born with the right to a loving family. Each child deserves adequate nutrition, medical care and education. When a child is unable to remain with his or her birth family, adoption is a life-changing opportunity. For every child adopted, however, many more are left behind. As a result, WACAP's advocacy for children transcends traditional adoption services and includes child assistance and sponsorship. Each WACAP program is committed to providing love and care to needy children, one child at a time." (WACAP)
