A search fee for birthfamily members and foster family is charged when the current address is unknown to client. The one-time $300* search fee helps to cover the costs of the initial translation, initial postage, recordkeeping, transportation and worker time necessary in locating and contacting the individuals. The service fee helps cover the cost of delivering the service, but does not guarantee success in locating the person nor their response to the contact request.
*Please consult the agency if a financial hardship keeps you from requesting a search. Fee adjustments or a payment schedule can be discussed.
Korean agency post-adoption workers meet with many tours and individual visitors throughout the year. We highly encourage you to make your Intermediary Service Request at least one year before you travel to Korea. Service requests made less than two months prior to travel are subject to a $150 fee to expedite the request.
An agency translator may be hired for a $15-per-page fee and $5 transaction fee ($20 total), or you may use your own translator.
If you wish to request service, please complete the registration email. You will be sent a registration packet with forms to be filled out and returned, along with the $35 registration fee, to Post Adoption Services, CHSFS, 1605 Eustis Street; St. Paul, MN 55108.
