As a child I lived for a time in Seoul, South Korea. As an adult, I'll return to Seoul with my husband to adopt a child. This is our journey back to Seoul.

Dual Citizenship

Margie @ Third Mom posted a comment to share very important news. The Korean Government is taking steps to allow adoptees to apply for dual citizenship. The sticking point was the mandatory military service requirement for citizens but there appears to be a compromise in the works.

Not many details yet but for those of us not wanting to shut the door on our children's birth country, this is wonderful.
