Vietnam Adoptions Update

Exciting News For Vietnam Families!

An update regarding current program total follows:
There are 23 families who have received official referrals and who are waiting to bring home their children.
We have 66 families who are waiting on referrals, over 10 of whom have been preliminarily matched and who are awaiting final referral notification.
Since the Vietnam program re-opened, FTIA has placed 18 children in their forever families.


Vietnam News:
We want to thank all families for their positive response to and participation in the Joint Council for International Children’s Services (JCICS) Child’s Right Campaign for Vietnam. The letter to Secretary Rice, advocating for a new Memorandum of Agreement for Vietnam, is now circulating to all of the congressional offices and has been well received. FTIA notified all families earlier in the week, asking them to contact their elected officials again in support of this important campaign. Although families had very short notice, it is our hope that with even more phone calls and e-mails, the letter to Secretary Rice will receive a large number of signatories
