Good News… Korea has Changed Age Requirements for Adoptive Families! We recently received confirmation that Korea has changed age requirements for adoptive parents — expanding eligibility for families hoping to adopt a child from Korea. While it is still Korean law that adoptive parents must be between the ages of 25-45 at the beginning of the adoption process — i.e., the time of home study approval — the Korean government may now grant age waivers to parents up to age 49 at the time of home study approval if one of the following criteria is met: • Both applicants are Korean-American. • At least one applicant is a Korean adoptee. • The applicants have previously adopted a child from Korea. Before the recent change to requirements, the extended age waiver only applied to families where both adoptive parents were Korean. But now it applies to returning families, Korean adoptees and Korean-American families adopting all children from Korea! The Korea program is in need of families! If you know of an eligible family that thought they aged out, please spread the word about Korea’s decision to create more flexible age requirements.
