Hi Elyse,

The ages of the children are from 3 months up, there are a large smount of children 2/3 years old waiting to be adopted because of the Vietnam closure.

Your Country must have an Intercountry agreement with Vietnam before adoptions can resume. Relations between the US and Vietnam have got a lot better, Vietnam has applied to join the WTO (World Trade Organisation) I think the US is supporting their application, there is also a large increase in US investment in Vietnam. The only downside is the recent US court ruling not allowing the Agent Orange case to go ahead.

Vietnam welcomes single women adopting, as a rule of thumb the outer age limit is 45 years old.

Thailand, Cambodia, China and Indonesia are open for adoption, check out their forums on this website.
