From a fellow KAA regarding whether you were adopted from Holt International or Holt Korea.
It makes a worlds difference. I thought I was completely at a loss but it turns out it was just the wrong agency. So I emailed Holt international they told me they didn’t have my file that at one point Holt split into two. If you’re trying to contact Holt International you can email this lady:
DebbyH@holtinternational.org
She responds pretty fast. If they were not in charge of your adoption and do not have your file they will tell you right away. If they say no you can almost guarantee it was through Holt Korea like myself.If you’re looking for Holt Children’s services (Holt Korea) you will email them at this address:
pasc@holt.or.kr
In the subject line include your Korean name, case number and I was told to put the following as well:
Attn: ESTHER KIM
A different person answered me but it was the same day I sent the email so I didn’t mind one bit. Just to be sure if email them at this address as well. It won’t hurt to
holtkorea@holt.or.kr
Tell them you are searching for your birth family and you would like a copy of your Korean adoption file.
