		<description><![CDATA[From CBS12 : Angie adopted Jada as a seven-month old baby from a Vietnam orphanage. But Vietnamese and U.S. officials stalled the adoption process. Angie&#8217;s very public fight for her daughter last year, resulted in other families joining with her. The Vietnamese government approved the stalled adoptions. The email that changed everything came two days [...]]]></description>

All of these documents are available at their website for anyone to view, and we highly recommend doing so. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[E. J. Graff&#8217;s article, Anatomy of an Adoption Crisis, online today at ForeignPolicy.com, pulls back the veil to reveal details and information only previously hinted at and corruption beyond what many of us could have imagined. &#8230; inside their fog of secrecy, the faceless bureaucrats were also agonizing about the well-being of the children and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After posting the story yesterday about the Vietnamese Ruc people and their complaints about how they were deceived into relinquishing their children for adoption, I remembered where I had read this story before. Anthropologist Peter Bille Larsen wrote an extensive article about their case back in May 2008. In this article, I point raise to [...]]]></description>
