This site is intended to reflect our experiences in traveling to Korea to pick up each of our two beautiful Korean-born children, Gabe and Elleigh.  Our trips were in April 2001, and in July 2003.  We hope the information is useful. but please rely on your own common sense and not only on our information in planning your own trip!
Topics on the left may be of general interest to adoptive parents, especially those working with Holt - topics on the right are more specific to our experiences.
