Help Families Adopting from Vietnam...

There is a campaign that we are fully supporting with the JCICS (joint Council on International Childrenʼs Issues). A new agreement needs to be signed before the old one expires in September which would allow for all adoptions in Vietnam to continue. Please take 5 minutes to cut and paste and email in support of this campaign. You can just cut and paste the below word document into and email and send to : Advocate@JCICS.org

To Whom It May Concern:

I completely support the Child's Right Campaign for Vietnam. I fully support ethical adoptions in Vietnam. At the same time, the practices of both Governments should adhere to the laws and have respect for each other and their cultures.

We are aware of the report issued by the US government about specific cases of abuse in the Vietnamese adoption system. However, a majority of the cases in Vietnam have been approved by the USCIS and found to be ethical adoptions. We fully support ethical standards of practice by every agency.

Therefore we are in full support of a Child’s Right Campaign. We are urging the US to sign a new agreement with Vietnam before September when the current agreement expires. We also support the standards of practice by all agencies working in Vietnam. We urge Congress to get involved so a new agreement can be reached in time. This is a very important issue affecting thousands of adoptive families.

Thank you so much for your support in A child’s Right Campaign and for the attention to this important matter.

With best regards,
