This is from a previous post, but still a hot inquiry!  Families who are matched with a child are able to send small gifts via Holt for their child and the child's foster family.  Adoptive families will send these gifts directly to
Holt, with no identifying information on the outside of the package, except for our social worker's name.  On the inside of the package, families would include the child's case number and Korean name. Families most often send clothes, family photo album and variety of small gifts for foster family members. Some things to keep in mind:  do not send anything that is extremely valuable or costly - there is no guarantee that it will arrive safely.  Also, only send small items (i.e. one outfit, small book or photo album, or one small toy).  It is costly to send and space is limited in many foster homes.  Do not send disposable cameras, as they may go through scanning equipment which could ruin the film - additionally pictures are a required to be taken by foster families as part of the adoption process.  We're happy and blessed with a wonderful worker at Holt who is happy to help families with this connection to their children as they wait.  Please let your social worker know if you have any questions or concerns, or to obtain the mailing address.
