Program Placement WHFC currently works in 12 countries. Our program staff is highly knowledgeable about the adoption process in their respective countries. 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. Once your child is home with you, a minimum of three visits are required as well as monthly contact for a six month period.
Contact focuses on family adjustment and the health and development of the child.
While some countries finalize adoption overseas, we encourage parents to re-legalize the adoption in their child's state of residence. 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 process and WHFC has a commitment to provide ongoing support for both adoptive parents and adoptees. Our children come home to us from around the world. Their unique cultural and ethnic background is part of who they are.
