We were in the Korea program before we switched to Guatemala 4 years ago. Our social worker encouraged us to switch because there was something like a quota on the number of referrals each year (I'm not sure if it was per agency or overall) and she said the quota had been met for the year so we could not get a referral until after January ist of the next year. From our research on Korea at that time, I know that most kids are with foster families and get good health care and overall care. The program has many more restrictions for the adoptive parents than most countries. I know they are pretty strict on age and weight especially. I'm not sure if there is a restriction on number of kids already in the family. You can have your baby escorted home or you can go to Korea for pick-up. I'm pretty sure the fees at that time were less than Guatemala. I'm a little fuzzy on the other details. There is probably a more definitive list of program details on the web somewhere. Good luck. I am very excited for you!
