Hi folks - just over here lurking from the Guatemala board, and I wanted to share a different viewpoint. For our Guat adoption, I was in fact extremely glad that a DNA test was required. It means that when my daughter gets older and understands that she was adopted from Guatemala and people start to say stupid things they read in the newspapers about fraud and baby-stealers, I can say to her with confidence that none of these happened in her case. A frustrating extra step was for me a small price to pay for the peace of mind that I can look my daughter in the eye and say "No, of course you weren't kidnapped or sold." If there have been occurances of fraud or baby stealing in Vietnam, I think a DNA test makes sense. Just my 2 cents.
