10. South Korea
South Korea’s adoption program is one of the oldest and most efficient in the world. Toddlers are available at age two and their medical history and progress is detailed and accurate. Social workers provide the medical history if possible. Approval can take from a few weeks to two months. If the parents have already adopted from South Korea, the process is much shorter. Parents are encouraged to send packages and letters to the child during this time.
Parents who want to adopt must have been married for at least three years before they can begin this process and they must not have been divorced more than once previously. Their medical history must be clear and they have to be between 29 and 49 years old. No more than four children must already live in the household and the advantage is given to parents who either have Korean roots or were adopted by Korean parents themselves. And now, let’s see what else we have in our list of easiest countries to adopt from foster care.
