Quoting JCICS ......

Following our update of September 1, 2008, it is Joint Council’s understanding that the Government of Vietnam has issued a formal diplomatic note to the United States Government naming a high ranking Vietnamese official as Vietnam’s lead negotiator and also requesting that both governments begin negotiations towards a new Memorandum of Agreement regarding intercountry adoption.

Joint Council applauds the Government of Vietnam for taking this very important step and encourages the U.S. Government to respond in a most positive manner. For more information on the ongoing diplomacy, please visit the State Department's website.

This is a GREAT step in the right direction!!
