About one third of the requests for information about its international adoption programs come from the web site. The home page also includes information about Pregnancy Counseling and Open Adoption, Post Adoption Services, and Tour Korea, an adoption-focused tour offered each summer for children and their families who have adopted from Korea. The Internet also provides a forum for adoptive families to interact with each other. It provides answers to frequently asked questions for parents who have adopted from China or who are currently in the process.
