Hangul Poster Giveaway Contest Winner (Final Drawing)



Meet the Mundala family! Their story is below:

"Our journey to adoption started after our emotionally
draining fertility
treatments came to an end. Additional
treatment options were available,
but we did not feel they
were the right choice for us. Instead, on
September 24th,
2007, we chose to pursue adoption.We both felt that this

was God’s purpose for us.


Adoption has brought our family so many blessings. Every
day we look into
our son's eyes and are so thankful for
him and all the wonderful people who
took such great care
of him before he was in our arms forever. We couldn't

imagine life without him. He has brought so much joy
to our family!"


Although National Adoption Month officially ended in
November, we hope that the personal stories shared by
the winners have helped in raising adoption awareness. To
see more beautiful families formed through adoption, you

This Week's Winner of the Hangul Poster Giveaway Contest


Congrats to the Stellakis Family!


Below is a photo of their family with
the judge on the day their son's
adoption was finalized.

Below is what they shared about their
adoptive journey:

We decided to adopt after our first son
was born, following a complicated
pregnancy.Our little Lukas Gang-seok arrived home to
us from Korea on October 21,2009. He is an
absolute love and we can't imagine not
having him in our lives! Of course, this
experience has changed our lives in many
ways...we have developed a real appreciation for the
Korean culture and are so grateful for the love and
care that Lukas received while still in Korea.




Welcome Home Giveaway Winner!



Congrats to the Lee Family!


















































Hear their personal adoption story below. Thank you for sharing! And congrats to your upcoming arrival of your son!

We are a second time around adoptive family waiting for our second son to come home. Our daughter was also adopted from Korea (pictured with us and our biological son). Our son's name will be Jamin S. Lee. We decided to adopt after our son Jadon was born with medical issues (that did resolve over time with no adverse effects) but were told by our doctor that a second pregnancy would be very dangerous. My husband grew up in Daegu, Korea and I worked in Daegu for 4 years as an ESL teacher/professor. So, we went ahead and adopted our daughter Arianna from Korea three years ago. After meeting many Korean American
families who mostly adopted girls, we realized there was a need (if we were going to
adopt again) to adopt Korean boys. So, here we are waiting for our little Jamin to
come home! I would LOVE to win this because the bedspread I picked for our son's bed
actually has airplanes on it like the poster!

This Week's Winner of the Hangul Poster Giveaway Contest















Meet the Albano Family! Hear their story:

We decided to adopt when infertility was introduced
to us after already having
one biological child. I
am now SO THANKFUL that infertility was our ‘issue’

since our family now boasts our two beautiful,
wonderful, brilliant Korean-born
daughters.
Adoption changed our lives so much that we now are
HUGE adoption advocates! We
feel priviledged to be
a part of a larger adoptive family and especially
blessed
to be a part of the Korean culture. We are
so thankful and blessed to be an
adoptive family.
Our children: Christian, biological. Lily & Mimi,
Korean-born.
