Teach Me Something Tuesday

Many people have asked us why South Korea.  Here are some things we considered.

Benefits of the South Korea program and what we found appealing:

The availability of healthy infants - There are many children with mild and/or easily correctable special needs, too.  (The wait for healthy girls can be considerably longer than boys.)

Foster family care - Babies who are relinquished by their birth families for adoption are generally placed with foster families where they are well provided for in warm, loving homes until placement. 

Excellent medical care - Korea's medical care system is first-rate and comparable to the U.S.

Reasonable time frames - Approximately 18-24 month time frame from application to arrival.

Less onerous paperwork - Unlike other countries where separate dossiers are required, the Korean program accepts the U.S. home study as documentation enough.

Travel or escort options - You can choose to have your child escorted to the U.S. rather than travel (although many parents do indeed travel to pick up their children).
