Dear Friends,
After many months of research on the international adoption, my family has started the international adoption application process as of today. We have been praying and looking for an agency to work with during this process and finally decided to go with an agency called, “Eastern Social Welfare Society, Inc.”, one of four approved adoption agencies in South Korea.
I contacted the regional office in NY and discussed the details of the international adoption. One of the workers there kindly answered all my questions that I wasn’t able to find the answers to up until now. This person also did the initial screening to verify the eligibility of my family for the international adoption.
At this point, as we have expected, our financial eligibility is in question. More
practically speaking, we won’t be considered eligible financially in our current situation. However, the representative who showed a great support during our conversation told me that she would personally take our application with her on her business trip to the headquarter in Korea next Monday. And the application will be presented to the committee that decides the eligibility of applicants for adoption.
I was really amazed by her kind offer and so encouraged by God bringing great helpers and
partners in his time. Since the family’s financial status plays a big part in verifying the eligibility for adoption, the representative advised us to write a personal letter explaining our family’s vision
for adopting a child even though we have three children of our own and are not financially stable enough to raise one more child. She said she would present this letter to the committee along with my application.
At this point, we know that nothing is guaranteed. However, our family just wanted to take this step of faith and see where God leads us. I really ask all of you, our friends in Christ, to pray with us so that we could experience God’s guidance and blessings through this process and experience God moving the hearts of those who are involved. I will continue to post updates and
humbly ask all of you for your continual prayer and support.
Love, Jee (of course, Jae, Daniel, Isaiah, & Soon to be a big sister, Joy)
