VIETNAM PROGRAM UPDATES
More referrals! In
the first week of March we received four additional referrals!
All were boys including three infants (1-month, 5-months and
6-months-old) and a 3-year-old boy. These families experienced a
wait time of 8-9 months for their referrals.
Congratulations
to all these happy families!
The six families
traveling in country all finished their Vietnam adoptions early
and are arriving home this week. Although these families were in
country for only ten days, we still anticipate the travel to be
2-3 weeks on average. We hope to have more families traveling by
the end of March! At least three more families will be traveling
soon after their Giving & Receiving dates are issued to complete
their adoptions from Vietnam.
Currently there
are 43 families waiting to travel, 135 families on dossier list
waiting to be matched with a referral and 175 families in the
application stage working on their home study or waiting for
their immigration approval. It is possible we will receive more
referrals this month!
Fifteen children
have been united with their forever families through Children’s
Hope Vietnam program so far in 2007!
We hope everyone
is enjoying the new Vietnam E-newsletter! If you are not yet
receiving the E-newsletter from the Vietnam team and would like
to please let us know. In the next issue we hope to feature our
in country staff. We are also looking for family stories or any
suggestions for content. What would you like to see? Please send
your ideas or family stories to Pam at
