Multiple questions....new here
Hi!
I am Julie and am new here. I have a thousand questions but will try to limit it. We are thinking of Korea or Guat. adoption. I have heard Korea costs less is that true? What is a good agency to go through? What are the approximate costs for Korean adoption? Guat. adoption? Where any of you offered to adopt twins, or sibling groups? We are interested in an infant but would also like twins or an infant toddler. How did you go about financing the adoption? How long did it take you from the first call to your agency to your placement? Thanks alot for your time. We are so excited about this opportunity!!!! Julie

For agencies available to you in your state, check out the listing at ... I'll PM you
As for costs - not sure how Guatemala compares. Twins: I have heard of 2 sets in the last 5 years. Siblings: haven't heard of this. Note that for either of the above, you would have to pay the country fee for each child. We used our savings for the expenses. Timelines vary from agency-to-agency. Anywhere from 6-24+ months. You'll need to ask them.

A lot of which agancy you use depends on where you live. Can you give us a basic geographic location? Korea almost never has twins...they apparently just don't occure there very often. Korean government fees are running @$11,300 right now. I believe Guatemala is around $19,000. The rest of the costs are similar. Good luck in your decision making process

Guatemalan Adoptions run more around the $30,000 range.
