Here are some questions to ask yourself as you consider an adoption from Korea.

Do you:

  • Want a child that is healthy, well cared for and under the age of 3 years?
  • Want an adoption process that is fast, in most cases under one year?
  • Want an adoption process that is streamlined and predictable?

Are you:

  • Between the ages of 25 and 44 years?
    Note: Age waiver to age 49 for applicants that meet at least one of the following: one adoptive parent is of Korean Heritage; a Korean adoptee, or previously adopted from Korea.
  • Have you been married at least 3 years with no more than 1 divorce?
  • In good heath with no major medical concerns?
  • Financially secure with combined annual income of $35,000?
