Just thought I'd share

I know I've posted so many concerns and questions on this board, that I wanted to share that we are going to be adopting from Korea. We are starting our homestudy this week! I hope you don't mind if I stick around here as I can't find an active Korea adoption board!!!!! Wish us luck!
