Dear Vietnam Family Update #2

Here is an additional update from our Vietnam Director this week:

Today, Friday, the Department of State held a telephone conference with all agencies working in Vietnam. They wanted to let the agencies know that they are going to be making an official statement and warning about Vietnam adoptions. There is NO NEW information that they will be posting. However, they are warning new application families about the MOU expiring in September and the fact that they might want to reconsider choosing to start an adoption from Vietnam right now. The State Department still does not know whether the agreement is going to be resigned in September or not. However, they are just putting out a warning to new families who might not know about the current situation with Vietnam adoptions.

Please do not stress out about this or get worried. We have updated you all along on the current status and will continue to update you if any new information comes to our attention. But we did want to warn you in case you start seeing this warning on other chat groups or Emails or through the state department web site. We expect the announcement to be made on Monday at the earliest!
