Information on Vietnam Adoption
Welcome to Adoption Australia. The following is a little more information on what is involved.

International adoption really took off during the Vietnam war and over the years many children, displaced by war and poverty have been placed with loving families across the world.Adoption from overseas can be a daunting process and requires patience. All adoptions in Australia are public and must be done through the state office or their accredited agencies. Even international adoptions must be done this way otherwise you risk the child being denied access to Australia. That may seen harsh but this is to protect children from trafficking and to make sure that the adoption meet the Hague convention. It is important to get your application through correctly the first time as a failed application can harm your chances of being accepted the next time. If you are considering adopting you may like:
