New Number....Maybe a New Agreement
Well...in case you all haven't heard, there has been some squabbling between the USA and Vietnam. Their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is set to expire in September of this year. At the moment, there hasn't been any move to draft a new one. This means that as of Sept. 1st, all adoptions between Vietnam and the USA will come to an end.
Now...at first we were alarmed. Rightfully so! However, CHI (our agency) stated that all is not as bad as it seems. Vietnam and the USA are still talking. In fact, the president of Vietnam is visiting the USA in June. Hopefully they will work things out!
Right now, Lisa and I are at 198. We have moved up the list quite a bit. However, if the adoptions shut down...this number won't really mean anything. Let's hope that they work things out.
If it looks like things are definitely shutting down, Lisa and I are already making alternate plans. We will let you all know what they are if things continue to go downhill between Vietnam and the USA. Keep us in your prayers! Let's hope that these two countries work things out!
