During the holiday season, AFTH receives gifts to forward along to members of the adoption triad. When doing this, we request that adoptive families include funds to cover the postage to repackage and send the gift from our office to their child’s birth family.
In order to ensure enough time with the recent delay in mail, please have all packages delivered to the office by Friday, December 1st.
Gifts received after this date cannot be guaranteed to ship before AFTH’s holiday closing.
We also ask that packages remain under 5-7 pounds and 12 inches. With packages of this size, AFTH is able to stamp these from the office and avoid traveling to post offices. We suggest gifts such as photos, books, jewelry, artwork, gift cards, etc. If you have a package that is much heavier, please call the local office you are sending the package to. Our local offices have UPS accounts and can give you a price to ship this way.
