We are outraged by current Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) activities pertaining to adoptions in Vietnam. American families legally adopting children in Vietnam are being penalized through weeks of delay and visa denials, and children are suffering. We request that:
1) The families currently stuck in Vietnam with their legally adopted children be allowed to bring their children home immediately;
2) Adoptions in Vietnam be permitted to continue, and;
3) Families adopting in Vietnam in the future be treated fairly and expeditiously, with full disclosure of facts if any problems are found in cases and prompt substantiation of allegations made against any parties.

- I am appalled at how US citizens have been treated by officials of the INS in Vietnam. They seem to be basing their visa denials on rumors instead of facts. Visas should be approved prior to the adoption ceremony, before families travel. Thank you!

- We are attempting to adopt from Cambodia The feeling we get from the INS is that there are no real orpahans in South East Asia and that the families attempting to adopt are human rights violators and should be treated as such. Nothing could be farther from the trutth. At the very least the INS needs to be sensitive to what families who are attempting to adopt have already faced. Believe me we have nothing but the childrens' best interests at heart. I am not sure that the INS could make such a statement in good faith.

- We have had a final decree from Cambodia for 3 months and have not had the right to have our case reviewed. We fully intend to adopt our next child from Viet Nam, no matter how long it takes. These children DO deserve homes, rather than institutions.
