However, we did end up bringing hom a wonderful baby boy which makes everything we wnet through worth it. We are ready to start the process again to adopt from VN. However, with all the recent problems, I am really not sure what to do about starting now. I know that in March negotiations start again with the MOU (I think). Does anyone know if we will know what the outcome is in March, or will it take longer? And, if we do sign, how long will it be for? I might not even have my information right, I am just really confused about whether to start again now, or wait a few more months. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

While many people are very negative(I have even heard strong warnings against starting an adoption right now) I continue to have hope that both governments will do what is needed to ensure that children who need families get them.

There is at least one province that is taking at least 3x the length stated in VN law to approve dossiers. I'm feeling a little cynical about how effective the VN law is at the moment.
