Prayer Request

The DIA (Department of International Adoption) in Vietnam has stopped processing adoptions for those trying to adopt from the US for two provinces Phu Tho and Thai Nguyen. This is due to pressure from the US Embassy.

Unfortunately, our agency primarily gets it's referrals from those two provinces at this time. This will mean delay in our timeline but we are not sure how much of a delay right now. On a positive note, our agency is working to establish relationships with other provinces to get referrals in the pipeline.

Tad Kincaid, the director of our agency is over in Vietnam for the month of November trying to do what he can to get things moving again. We appreciate his dedication and hard work. Pray that the Lord will give him wisdom, bring truth to light, and give clarity where there is confusion.

Right now, since the DIA has suspended adoptions for US citizens the babies are being referred out to and subsequently adopted to French families.

Thank you for your prayers.

Hi... I'm a complete stranger, I know. But I was wondering if it would be possible for you to tell me where this information came from. Did you agency tell you this? Thank you so much.

Is this for future referrals or are they stopping ones already accepted and in the process???

We did learn of this from our agency. This is for future referrals and those who have received referrals from those provinces will be able to proceed to continue their adoptions.

Thanks so much!!!
