Comments on: State Department Responds to JCICS Letter http://www.adoptionintegrity.com/2008/08/13/state-department-responds-to-jcics-letter/ A collaborative blog advocating ethics in adoption Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:04:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: F http://www.adoptionintegrity.com/2008/08/13/state-department-responds-to-jcics-letter/comment-page-1/#comment-2054 F Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:46:35 +0000 http://www.adoptionintegrity.com/?p=158#comment-2054 My 2c is that the DoS will do exactly as they say . . . keep things <I>"limited"</I> & <I>"tightly - monitored"</I>. Probably only approve relinquishments where the relationship can be definitively determined through DNA testing. IMO, it's been the DoS's agenda to get to this point since last November. It goes without saying that this will severely limit the number of adoptions coming from VN to the US. I only hope that Canada and the European countries that have agreements with VN will be able to provide additional homes to the children of Vietnam. Politics . . . . I'm so over it already.
