Adoption Guild Background

For over fifty years, Adoption Guild of Southern Orange County has proudly supported the services of Holy Family Services Adoption & Foster Care Agency.

With the hope of giving every child an opportunity to have a loving family, dedicated Adoption Guild volunteers work each year to present two major fundraising events – Roy Emerson Adoption Guild Tennis Classic and Patroness Tea – with all proceeds benefitting Holy Family Services.

Comprised of approximately 50 members, the Adoption Guild offers a wonderful combination of volunteer and social opportunities in and around the Newport Beach community.

Since 1961, Adoption Guild has generated over $4.2 million in funding contributing to approximately 3000 adoptions!

Roy Emerson

The Adoption Guild is very fortunate to have the support of ROY EMERSON, THE MOST PROLIFIC GRAND SLAM TITLE HOLDER in the history of tennis.

Emerson holds 28 Grand Slam titles and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1982.

He remains the only male player to win singles and doubles titles in all four Grand Slam events including 28 Grand Slam titles, 12 singles titles and 16 doubles titles.

Roy and his wife Joy currently reside in Newport Beach and Gstaad Switzerland.
