Please note that our Korean adoption program is a network program, which means we can assist only
families residing in Kentucky or Missouri with an adoption from Korea.
 All Blessings International proudly partners with a very experienced and
long-established child-placing entity functioning in the United States and South Korea for our Korean adoption program. ABI works
closely with Kentucky and Missouri families providing
home study services and additional
regular correspondence as they adopt from Korea. Families apply to All Blessings International
for home study services, as well as the partner agency for Child Placement
services. Applications must be submitted to and approved by both agencies. Korean law allows families meeting the following criteria to adopt:
- parents must be between 25 and 44 years of age
- couples must have been married for at least 3 years
- previous divorces are accepted, but more than one divorce per spouse is evaluated on a case-by-case basis
- health history, including current body mass index and use of medications,
criminal history and financial status will all be considered
Both infant girls and boys are available for adoption from Korea, but males are more
prevalent. Families may only request a female child if they have only a son or sons in their home.
The current wait time for a child from Korea after a family is paper-ready is between
one and six months (referrals of infant girls sometimes take longer), and adoptive
parents can expect to travel approximately
four to eight months later. Referral information includes as much detail as we receive
from our overseas counterparts, including photographs with medical and social history.
Updated information after acceptance of referral is occasionally available.
