Sweden to stop adoptions from Vietnam
Oct 22nd, 2008 by Administrator
According to Sveriges Radio, a child from Vietnam is adopted by Swedish parents about once a week on average.
However, the government has decided not to extend its current agreement with Vietnam, which runs out in the autumn of 2009.
The decision, to be announced on Thursday, comes following reports which raise troubling questions about Vietnam’s adoption practices.
An investigation by the Swedish government revealed that biological parents in Vietnam are not always aware that their children have been put up for adoption. There are also reports that money has been paid in exchange for children to be adopted.
