Colin, our beautiful son, was born in Korea on January 4, 1994 and came to us at the age of three and one half months. Colin is in 3rd grade at Buzz Aldrin Elementary School in Reston. His favorite subjects are gym, recess, and math (probably in that order). He played AA Little League Baseball last season and if he gets drafted, will move up to AAA. He's got a wicked pitching arm and is great on 2nd base. He also loves basketball and can dribble till the cows come home - not always in the right *direction* but he has fun anyway! He smiles more than any child I've ever met and is the love of our life! We'd love everyone to read his adoption story and also to visit the adoption-related web sites listed at the bottom of this page. And, come back and visit us again soon - since Colin is ever-growing and ever-changing, this page will be updated frequently!
The following is a list of adoption-related links. I will try to keep them as up-to-date as possible!
- ASIA - the home page for Adoption Services Information Agency, the agency through which we adopted Colin
- RainbowKids - A wonderful site geared towards international adoption
- Adopting.Com - "The largest adoption resources index on the internet"
- AdoptioNetwork - Another great website with loads of resources for those interested in adoption.
- International Adoptions - General information on the role of the State Department in adoptions (forms, etc.).

The following list is specific to adoption from Korea:
