Hello,

My wife and I are now in the same situation (except from America).

Were you able to find any information on this matter?

I would recommend to contact one of the official
agencies to handle adoptions in Korea (see below).
The policy in Korea is currently to get the number of foreign adoptions down and rather try to have the children within the country
in order to avoid additional
culture shock.

Hello Peter: My name is Mabel, I am Argentinean living in South Korea and currently in the process to adopt a child in Haiti.
I am teacher at a school and there are 2 couples here that have adopted kids, 2 each couple. They're from Australia and the kids are between 4 and 7 I think. However, I know that nowadays, Koreans are able to adopt as well and they have priority. Nevertheless, an agency in Canada or a web site about adoption rules in S. Korea will give you the answer.
If you want to be in touch with these couples, I might ask them if they're willing to share information with you. I don't think they will have any problem.
I really hope you can adopt! Please, keep me posted! and if I can help with adoption in Haiti, you're more then welcome!

I hope that you can adopt a child!
