It's been a while since I have posted anything about my adoption journey so now I have some updates to share. My worst fear has become reality. Vietnam adoptions are closing down September 1. It was hoped that the unilateral agreement between the 2 countries would be resolved and everything would be fine but this is not the case. What this means is that Vietnam will stop accepting dossiers on July1(while my husband and I are still working on our paperwork, we will not be able to ...
