We are adopting from Korea and have not encountered the difficulties mentioned in the earlier post. It is true that there are fewer children available for adoption, but this is true for almost all international programs. The qualifications are not excessively strict and are comparable with other countries.
One of the reasons we chose Korea was that children come home at a younger age than with many other programs (8-11 months) and the fact that the children receive good medical care early in life. They also are in foster care as opposed to orphanages. The wait time at my agency from homestudy completion has averaged 3-5 months over the last year.
Hope this is helpful.
