More SCARY news...

Click here for the official notice from the US Embassy that goes along with my last post. We got word late today after my last post that our agency is going to temporarily halt adoptions from these two provinces, they work in two others as well. Our agency is NOT one of those that have been mentioned in some reports as being "investigated" THANK GOD. For this we are thankful, but still very apprehensive. We have faith that God will take care of us, when things are right for everyone involved.
What is going on is WRONG and unethical and we are praying that all of this gets figured out and all children up for adoption are legitimate. I cannot believe in today's world that this would happen. I have been to Vietnam a number of times to do humanitarian work and have seen the worst of the worst poor conditions, but for those people to be preyed on for their babies is HORRIBLE. I am sick over this. Honestly, I would rather wait 5 years for us to get our referral if it meant knowing that it will all done appropriately, ethically and legally.
We pray for the families that are currently stuck in Vietnam waiting to come home with their babies, but on the flip side, we pray that the people with babies from these provinces are told the TRUTH about their babies and hope that none of them are victims of this mess.
Please pray that these Vietnamese Provencial adoption leaders changes their practices and start ahearing to the laws set forth in the Hague. It will protect all perspective adoptive parents. We know we my not have the entire story about how our baby became an orphan, but I can tell you we want to be SURE that she was not the victim of this INSANITY.
