The Hawaii International Child Fact Sheet
Hawaii International Child (HIC) has been helping to create new families since 1975. In the past quarter century we have learned a few things about parents and children. One thing in which we firmly believe, is the importance of trust in the adoption process. As a parent investigating your adoption options, it is important that you find the right agency for your individual needs. If you decide to place your hope in our care, it is crucial that you feel good about your decision and that you trust us.
