Why we decided to Adopt from Korea

We did a lot of research about this.
  • Korean orphans live in loving, stable foster homes instead of orphanages.
  • Korea has excellent medical care--comparable to that of the US. We can expect regular medical updates about our baby once we are matched with one.
  • Travel is optional. Korea has optional escorts for babies to the US. If we chose to travel to Korea, which we probably will, then the stay is only 3-5 days.
  • Korea is a stable country to adopt from. Korean adoptions first began in the 1950s with Harry and Bertha Holt. We have selected their agency, Holt International, to represent us in this process.
  • Mostly, it just feels right to us!
