Vietnam has recently signed the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption and will now begin the implementation of the convention. Families are warned NOT to start an adoption from Vietnam. Vietnam has not reopened to adoptions and it will take significant time for the country to fully implement the Convention. It took the U.S. 12 years to implement the same Convention. In the past, the U.S. has opened and closed adoptions from Vietnam twice. We strongly suspect the U.S. will be extremely cautious in entering into yet a third agreement with Vietnam. Please continue to check our website for updates on Vietnam’s progress to reopen adoptions.
