[...] an aside, VVAI has created a list of agencies licensed in Vietnam that are also Hague accredited along with a list of those who are not yet accredited. This list is just a general reference point [...]
I thought Los Ninos had temporary (one year) accreditation - see here:http://www.travel.state.gov/family/adoption/convention/convention_4169.html
Los Ninos International is Hague accredited also now.
FTIA is also accredited
http://www.travel.state.gov/family/adoption/convention/convention_4169.html
You might want to include a list (or link to the list) of agencies that have applied for accredition, but have not yet been accredited. Here’s the link to the list:
http://travel.state.gov/family/adoption/convention/convention_3150.html
When I go through that list, then I come up with 6 agencies that do not appear on either the “accredited”, “temporary accredited” or “has applied for accredition” list:
A.D.O.P.P.T
Asian Children’s Services and Vietnam Humanitarian Corp
Florida Home Studies and Adoptions, Inc.
Little Pearls Adoption Agency
Ventures for Children International
Vietnamese Orphans Relief Fund
Good info! I’ll add it to the list, above. Verrry interesting!
I just want to add that as I was updating the list, FHSA IS on the application list (but not yet on the approval list)
I find it interesting that 3 of the 6 are also among the 6 that did not sign the JCIS Standards of Practice. The three that are on both lists are A.D.O.P.P.T., Florida Home Studies and Adoptions, Inc., and Little Pearls Adoption Agency.
I know nothing about Florida Home Studies, but I know enough about ADOPPT and Little Pearls to wonder if they are deciding to pack it in because they may not be able to survive if the standards and rules are enforced.
Just a thought.
Hello,
Asian Children Services VHC has not applied for Hague Accreditation and has no plan to do so. After 14 years working in Viet Nam we decided last year to begin to phase out the adoption part of our program. We have phased out half of the program and expect to have completed our final adoptions this fall. ACS has signed the JCICS Standards of Practice We look forward to developing new ways to support our humanitarian work in Viet Nam.

Gift of Love is accredited and has been from the start.
Thanks!
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that Mandala is Hague Accredited now, also.
Plan Loving Adoptions Now
World Partners Adoption
Worldwide Adoption Services
Are now also listed as denied.
The list is updated to reflect the most recent denials. Just a note to say that World Partners Adoption is not an agency licensed to conduct adoptions in Vietnam.
I just want to say that I am so sad to hear that ACS won’t be doing adoptions any longer in VN. Rosemarie has contributed so much to the country of Vietnam in so many ways- and I know many can vouch for the ethical upstanding program she has run for so many years.
