The end of our journey to Thi. The end of summer. The end of our dream to bring a child home from Vietnam.
What would Scarlet say? Tomorrow is another day.
AP Reports on End of AgreementSep 1st, 2008 by
US-Vietnam adoption pact ends, hundreds in limboBen Stocking in Bangkok contributed to this report.
A U.S.-Vietnam adoption agreement expired Monday with the two sides unable to resolve disagreements over fraud and corruption, disappointing hundreds of prospective parents who will have to seek children elsewhere.
The two countries said they will continue trying to iron out their differences, but for now the program will be suspended indefinitely.
Vietnam will continue processing adoptions for parents who had already been matched with orphans before the agreement expired. But the vast majority of the roughly 1,700 families that had cases pending will be disappointed, according to Vietnam’s top adoption official, Vu Duc Long.
Long said he was still tallying the exact number and would release it later this week.

I am sorry to read that this journey is over, but I hope that a new one is to begin soon.
