Nine days after we returned from Korea, we had our first of three required post-placement visits. Our social worker was at our house for about 45 minutes to meet Calvin and ask us questions about our trip to Seoul and Calvin's adjustment, personality, and health. It was very simple and painless - actually more like chatting with a friend than anything formal. We also had to submit five photos and get Calvin's pediatrician to fill out a form for the report.
We'll have two more visits over the next few months, and then this fall we will formally adopt Calvin. Unlike most other countries, when adopting from Korea, there is no legal proceeding or adoption done in-country - that is all done back in the United States upon return (and after a short waiting period to ensure the child is adjusting well to his new home).
