JSICIS posted this announcement on their site today. If you have a referral, and the child originated from Tu Du Hospital, this is a must read for you.
On a personal note, my son was born in this hospital in 2001. I do not know how I can ever share this information with him. I also know I cannot keep it from him.
Joint Council (on international children’s services) is asking all families currently in the adoption process with Vietnam to complete the Vietnam survey by Friday, August 22, 2008. Please pass this on to others you know who are waiting families.
You can see the entire announcement by clicking on “Joint Council” above.
Families waiting for a Vietnam Adoption are hoping official referrals arrive prior to September 1st. The “long shot” plan “B” for many was to hope that the current Memo of Understanding (MOU) would be extended allowing families with dossiers in the system to complete their adoptions despite the program closure. This letter posted by JCICS indicates that hope for a plan “B” is dead, but there is encouraging progress for the future of Vietnamese Adoptions. Please have a look.
