This warning was issued yesterday. http://travel.state.gov/family/adoption/intercountry/intercountry_3939.html Basically, the US is warning citizens NOT to begin the adoption process with VN. Our agency stopped accepting applications in December. A bi-lateral agreement is due for renewal in March (to take effect in Sept 08). There are several indications that make me think the US & VN will not sign this agreement and adoptions will be shut down. Of course, no one will know until March.
Our agency foresees our adoption to be completed by Sept 08. We cling to that hope, but we are also aware of the rocky relationship between the 2 governments. Nothing is guaranteed in international adoption.
Pray for the entire situation.
