We help families in the United States attempting to adopt a relative who meets the requirements of DSWD’s relative adoption program. The Relative Adoption Program is coordinated through ICAB and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The final program is for those who wish to adopt a relative from the Philippines. For more information on this program, contact our adoption specialists. The wait time in this program depends on the families’ openness and ability to parent various needs. This list is sent to Holston by the Inter-Country Adoption Board (ICAB) and is then given to families in the Special Home Finding Program. Families who are approved for this program will receive a regular list of the children who are waiting for adoptive homes. The Special Home Finding Program is for families willing to adopt youth who are older, sibling groups of three or more, or children with developmental and/or medical needs. For further information on this program, contact our adoption specialists. This program’s current wait time is around three years after the family is placed on the roster of approved applicants. The traditional program is for families who are interested in adoption of children with minimal needs under the age of 5. We have three different programs within the Philippine program. Holston Home has a long-standing relationship with the InterCountry Adoption Board (ICAB) of the Republic of the Philippines.
