And the Paper Chasing Begins..

I spoke with our agency this morning and they said our application looks good and we should be fine to adopt from Korea. Believe it or not, Korea is very strict on who they let adopt. Here are some requirements.
Who can adopt from Korea?

• Couples married three years or longer are accepted. Each parent can not have more than one divorce. No more than a 10-year age gap between spouses.
• All adopting parents must be at least 25 years old and must have their dossier submitted to Korea by the time they are 44 years old (both parents must be 44 years old or younger.)
• All adopting parents must be in good health physically, mentally and emotionally with a maximum permissible Body Mass Index not to exceed 30 percent. Medical situations reviewed case-by-case.
• Adopting family cannot have more than four children already in the home.
• Minimum household income of $30,000

I thought we would be approved but still had a question about Milon's lapse in judgement with letting fireworks off on the beach when he was 17! It was in question during our Kazakhstan adoption and thought it might be for this one as well.

Our face to face meeting in DC with Barker is set for January 14th. We have to drive their to meet them in person before getting the final approval. Meanwhile, I am scheduling the homestudy interviews and our medical appointments.
