Adopting From Korea

KAAN's Advice For Adopting From Korea.

Our suggestion is to thoroughly research your adoption options by contacting adoption agencies in your local area. Follow that contact by finding adoption support groups in your area. By talking with adoptive parents who have recently completed the process, you can assess which agency may be right for you. The following link will take you to agencies with Korean programs serving your area. Local Adoption Agencies

All US Local Adoption Agencies will work with one of the following four agencies in Korea. You must work with a local US agency that has a contract with the Korean agencies. You cannot work directly with Korea. However, by visiting their webpages you can get a feel for the Korean agency with which your local US agency will be connecting.
