I am a US Citizen, how can adopt a child in Vietnam?
The agreement required by Vietnamese law to authorize adoptions between the U.S. and Vietnam, expires on Sept. 1, 2008. Since the processing time to complete an adoption in Vietnam is at least 5 to 6 months, an adoption process starting now may not be completed before the end of the current agreement.
In order for the child to be considered as “orphan” the child must have a written consent by father and/or mother of that child. Exceptions to this rule is either parents are deceased, or the child has been abandoned or left at a medical establishment, or if the child’s parents have lost their civil act capacity.
Please note that there will be DNA testing for Vietnam adoption cases where the birth parents of the adopted child has been identified.
