My husband and I have been looking to adopt for quick some time, and we finally set down and decided that we want to start the process at the end of this year. We were really set on Korea, but then, when I started to refresh my knowledge on Korean adoption, I found that a lot of agencies are closing down their programs already.

We're hoping to be referred a child between then age of 2 and 6. I've heard at age 3 they are considered special needs, but then I've also heard that healthy children in that age range will still require the up-to-24-month-waiting-period to be referred. Does anyone have any experience to know which is true/more likely?

Would be advisable to attempt a special needs adoption with the Korean program closing in 2012? And if so, would anyone happen to know of any agencies still actively working in Korea?
