www.voiceoflove.orgThere are currently
20,000 children in South Korea waiting to be adopted. Of these children, many have special needs, and their hopes are bleak for one day finding a forever family. (Of special needs children in South Korea, only
1.5% are adopted by Korean citizens via domestic adoption.)
Despite these numbers, and due in part to pressure from anti-adoption groups, there are now restrictions impacting all international adoptions.
A quota has been established, drastically limiting the number of children that can be adopted internationally.
Holt Bazaar: Holt Children’s Services will be holding a bazaar this Friday, October 21st, from 9AM to 4PM. They will be selling new clothing items for adults and children, household items, accessories, books, and much more to raise funds for the organization. Please come out to support their event! They are located off Line 2 and 6 at HapJeong Station, Exit 7. When you exit, make a u-turn and walk down the main street for about 70 meters, it will be on the right.
