It’s come to my attention that I have some new visitors from Vietnam checking in periodically. I just wanted to welcome you. Feel free to stop by often, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the new I-600 process. Figure if you have the time to check in, you’d likely have the time to drop us a line.

New reader here…I will have to say the new I-600 proocess while will weed out the unethical adoptions, the wait really truly sucks !!!! Best, Sue
I haven’t received a referral yet, but agree that the new process will hopefully week out unethical practices. At this point, I think the DOS needs to speed things up a bit!

I’m not in Vietnam but I sure wish I was. I’m up in Canada and though we don’t have the I600 procdure we have our own issues as I have passed the 15th month since dossier to vietnam for a program said to be 6-9 months.
Oh, well. We just keep on waiting and in my case, complaining…
LMAO.
Ah, the new I-600 process. I have mixed thoughts. First, when I started on the road to international adoption, I had no idea that adoptions in some countries were processed the way they were in Vietnam – that there was a chance that you could adopt the child and then not get a visa. I guess I had assumed that by time you travelled, everything had been signed off on by all interested parties. So when the new procedure was announced, I wondered “why didn’t they do it this way all along?”
But I don’t understand how the new procedure will lessen the number of NOIDs. The only thing the new procedure does – as far as I can see – is avoid the situation where a family has completed an adoption in VN but cannot come back to the US with the baby. If all the cases are being investigated, and with corruption and unethical practices abounding according to the DOS, wouldn’t the number of NOIDs remain the same?
Or is it hoped that because there is this much more lengthy investigation that questionable paperwork won’t even be presented, and that unethical agencies, facilitators, etc. will cease the questionable practices?
Maybe I don’t understand enough about the new process.
Have been going back through your blog and wanted to say I LOVE this post!! Noticed the same type of “visitors” on mine. If they would spend more time processing I-600s/visas rather than stalking PAP blogs they may actually allow some children to make it home to the U.S.!!!! What a novel idea, yes???? K
