Program Placement: WHFC currently works in 11 countries. Our program staff is highly knowledgeable about the adoption process in each country. Many of our staff are bilingual and have traveled extensively in the host country. Once you have selected a program, our program staff is available to work with you to compile your dossier and guide your process.
Family Subsidies: Every year, WHFC dedicates funds to help support families requiring financial assistance to complete an adoption. These funds are an important part of our commitment to building permanent families. All applications are reviewed and decisions take into account a wide variety of issues. Grants typically range from $500 - $2,500. More significant "Benefactor Subsidies" are made available to applicants through the generous support of WHFC donors.

Post-Adoption Counseling: As part of the WHFC family, you have access to our post-adoption counseling specialists. We know that adoption is a life-long process and WHFC has made a commitment to provide ongoing support for both adoptees and adoptive parents.
Humanitarian Aid: Our commitment to children goes well beyond adoption. Over the past 30 years, WHFC has donated almost $5 million to needy children around the world. Through our humanitarian aid program we provide vital goods and services to children in orphanages and hospitals and respond to emergency care situations. We are proud of our tradition of making a lasting difference in the quality of life for thousands of children.
