Should get that SEO # we need Friday or Monday
So here we are waiting waiting!!!!! BUT VERY CLOSE our little man should be home soon. If we squeeze in for quota this year we should have him home in Nov.
Re: Adopting our son from Korea update
By the end of November would be really fast! I don't think SWS has had quota issues, so you'll travel by the end of the year for sure!
Our 2 came home within 4 days of each other... 3 years apart. Funny, I was in your shoes only 2 years ago, but it seems like forever.
Congrats!!! That is exciting!!!
Do you mind me asking what agency you are working with? My husband and I are planning to adopt internationally most likely from Asia in the very near future.
How do you like the agency you work with?
There are 4 social service agencies in Korea that handle internatioanl adoptions. These agencies have relationships with US agencies, which are only permitted to place children in specific states. Some states have a wealth of programs from which to choose; other are limited to Waiting International Child (WIC) programs, which place children with mild-to-moderate special needs.
If you want to see which agencies place in your state, I'd start with www.adoptkorea.com. It's a APs site, but usually pretty up to date.
Don't count on it;) At least not for a while.
