HANDS TO HOLD IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW REGISTRATIONS AT THIS TIME

We are implementing a new database and the final phase of the conversion will not allow new registrations during the process.

We will be making changes that will take effect after the

first of the year

Please allow approximately 10 minutes for the completion of the on-line fill in the blank registration form.

If your adoption budget is less than $28,000 not including finalization or travel it is unlikely that Hands to Hold Resource Center will be able to assist you with your adoption journey. Please do not become discouraged, remaining pro-active in your adoption journey will lead you to your newest family member. On average most of the opportunities that we receive through our Out Reach Assistance program average between $26K - $48K not including the finalization and travel cost.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT RELATES TO YOUR REGISTRATION

PLEASE READ OUR TERMS OF AGREEMENT BEFORE COMPLETING OUR REGISTRATION PROCESS!!

Families MUST be home study ready BEFORE completing the registration. If your home study is not complete then your registration will not be active. If you need assistance with this step please let us know and we can provide home study providers to you that are in your area. A home study completed by your State for the purpose of a Foster to Adopt for a child in State custody is generally not accepted for the purpose of a private adoption. Please check with your home study provider BEFORE registering.

We ask that you be gracious enough to keep your registration information up to date. If you adopt please let us know so that we may close or update your file, if you change emails or contact information we will need that new information in order to reach you, and if for any reason you wish your file to be closed please send us an email with that request.

If we send an email and it is returned for any reason your file will be closed until you re-register or update your current information. It is very important that if you change email addresses you notify us.
