My prayers for discernment are with you in the arduous decision. Would you be willing to post about why you are thinking about not continuing through Vietnam? Just curious.

Hi Isaac! Thanks for your prayers! The reason we are most likely going to switch is because the agreement that keeps adoptions going between the US & Vietnam (the MOU)is due to expire September 1. There has been no official word on whether or not they will continue placing children with families who have dossiers in country by then. Most agencies are not accepting applications for Vietnam right now, and it's a big risk to send a dossier over there right now, with there being no guarantees. Things have really slowed down in Vietnam too recently, as the US is doing more investigations on babies that are being referred. Some families who were supposed to travel in November to pick up their child are still waiting on approval from the US. We're hoping and praying that adoptions will continue, but feel that it's not a stable program for us to start in at this time.
