For over thirty years, Children's Home Society of Minnesota has worked with Korean child welfare agencies to provide families for over 8,000 children of Korean heritage. Over 150 children from Korea were placed with adoptive families through CHSM last year, many of them with some special medical needs. Most were children under 12 months of age. The Korean program is well regulated by the government and licensed agencies.
Medical information is readily available.
We have a program specifically to find families for Korean children with special needs. A number of these children are thought to have minor or correctable needs. By agreement with the Korean agency, we can recruit families all over the U.S. for these children. In the same agreement, children without known special needs can be placed in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, where CHSM provides the adoption home study.
