There are probably lots of reasons, in fact, initially, we were going to adopt from China. Why? First of all, China received a lot more publicity in the past regarding the "abandoned" girls and far more PAPs want daughters than sons. But also, Korea has been trying for years to reduce the international adoptions and until recently, it seemed to have created a lot more hurdles (e.g., in terms of how many children you could have in the home and other kinds of criteria, such a how many years you had to be married, what age you needed to be). Quite a few people until recently could not meet the Korea criteria. China criteria have changed and now have become more restrictive than the past, but I believe Korea is still more restrictive in various ways.
