Hands Across The Water
Adoption & Social Service Agency ~ COA Hague Accredited
Providing Adoption Services, Education & Support since 1999
" We've been there, now we're there for you!"
Our Mission...

Hands Across The Water (HATW)
a licensed, non-profit child-placing agency, is dedicated to all persons touched by adoption and foster care, offering assistance and support. HATW is dedicated to the belief that every child deserves a home and loving family.
We have adoption programs around the world and in the U.S. We are located in the state of Michigan, but can act as your placing agency, what ever state you live in.
Our staff has been personally touched by adoption. We are here to help you navigate your own personal adoption journey to make your dreams come true.
We believe every child deserves a family.

Children come first. 

Families need to be found for children....                  
not children for families.

Hands Across The Water is committed to actively recruit prospective adoptive/foster parents who are able to adopt or foster children served by this agency. HATW follows a non-discrimination practice and does not establish our screening criteria based on race, creed, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or natural origin. We work with those who are single and both married & partnered couples.
