Vietnam
Adoption
Children's Hope International began
working in Vietnam in 1998. We have been doing humanitarian aid
there ever since and did not stop our humanitarian aid support
during the 3 year moratorium. From 2003 to 2006, adoptions in
Vietnam closed to US families and the entire adoption system in
Vietnam was restructured. In June 2005, the US and Vietnam
signed the memorandum of agreement to allow adoptions to resume
with US families. Vietnam now requires that all agencies be
licensed. CHI was licensed on January 25, 2006 and we completed
60 adoptions the first year it opened.

licensed to provide placement for orphans from Ethiopia.

or in the hospital of birth prior to being matched with a

Tuberculosis and Venereal Disease prior to being placed.
