VIETNAM PROGRAM UPDATES

The Vietnam team is happy to announce that we did receive three new referrals the first week of August. One was for a family who will be adopting a healthy 14-month-old boy and the other two are for children from the Children�s Hope Waiting Child list: 3�-year-old and 4�-year-old boys. We do expect to receive more referrals this month. There is a chance for some infant referrals soon but some are still too young to be taken for their medical check-ups.

Three families did receive travel notice on so far this month for their adoption trip starting the end of August. We do expect to receive more travel dates soon for a few families!

In July we had two of the top adoption officials from Vietnam visit Children�s Hope in St. Louis. To read more about their plans for changes in the adoption procedures in Vietnam, link here: http://childrenshopeint.blogspot.com/2007/07/vietnam-delegation-visits-childrens.html

Completed Vietnam Adoptions in July: 12

Looking like a happy little man at only 17-months-old, Cole Townsend knows how to make the room smile. Cole was adopted from Vietnam by parents Deborah and Raymond in June 2006.
