Vietnam Program Updates

Last week, three families received referrals for adoptions from Vietnam! There was one referral for a healthy boy 3-years-old and two referrals for children with special needs. The family that received the healthy boy waited 19 months for their referral.

Congressional Writing Campaign
The Joint Council (JCICS) "A Child's Right Campaign" received over 2500 Emails asking the US State Department to work in good faith with the Vietnam Government to keep adoptions open in Vietnam past this Fall. We can only hope that just as many calls and emails were also received by US Senators and Representatives. The JCICS is compiling all of the emails to be submitted to Condoleezza Rice's office as well as Congress.
