Our Services
International Adoption Programs
Where you are located helps determine what services we are able to provide to you. Rest assured, if you are in the United States, we can help. If you are a U.S. citizen living abroad, we can also help you adopt from most of the countries we serve.
With offices in Colorado, Indiana, Utah and Florida, we are a full-service placing agency able to walk you through the adoption process from start to finish. That means home study, training, dossier preparation, child match referrals, travel, placement, post-placement visits and support, adoption validation (and everything in between!) all rolled into one seamless package.
For residents within the other 46 states, or US citizens living abroad, we are able to serve as your primary placing agency, meaning that we will guide you through the process of submitting your Dossier, getting matched with a child, travel planning and all of the little (but important!) details in between. For these cases, Hand in Hand will simply coordinate with an accredited agency in your home state to ensure that your training, home study and post-placement processes go smoothly.
If you already have a primary/placement agency, then we can still help by providing your local training, home study and post-placement services for residents in Colorado, Indiana, Utah and Florida.
Countries We Currently Work With Include:
Brazil is the largest country and economy in Latin America, but exhibits a disparity of income with 10% of the population possessing 47% of the national income. Brazil has an estimated population of approximately 209.4 million people and 200,000 children and youth living in institutions. Poverty is the primary factor causing children to be placed in orphanages and shelters.
The Republic of Bulgaria is a diverse country of 7.3 million people, bordered by Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey and the Black Sea. The majority of the people are of Bulgarian ancestry, but there are many minority groups represented, most notably the Turkish and Roma population. The official language is Bulgarian, the oldest written Slavic language.
China is a wonderfully diverse country full of history, amazing sights, wonderful food and warm, welcoming people. Not surprisingly, however, it is different from the United States in every conceivable way (including having opposite days and nights). Hand In Hand’s China Program has been active since 1993.
Haiti lies approximately 50 miles southeast of Cuba and is considered part of the West Indies. Haiti’s culture is a vibrant mixture of African, French, Indian, British and Spanish influences. Due to the political unrest and dire economic circumstances, there are many beautiful children who become available for adoption.
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region in the People’s Republic of China. Located on a deep sea harbor, with many scenic attractions and wonderful local cuisine, Hong Kong is a favorite destination, worldwide. A region of just over 400 square miles, Hong Kong is home to over 7.5 million people and boasts the most skyscrapers of any city in the world!
More than 7,100 islands make up the Philippines archipelago between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea, east of Vietnam. The third largest English speaking country in the world (behind the U.S. and the U.K.), the Philippines has a rich history combining Asian, European and American influences. Hand in Hand has been working in the Philippines since 1974.
A republic of over 44 million people, Ukraine is located in Eastern Europe and borders Russia, Belarus, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova. Ukraine is a land of wide, fertile agricultural plains, with large pockets of heavy industry in the east. Ukraine has everything from almost 1,800 miles of coastline along the Black Sea to mountains over a mile high in the west.
