Question US/UK adopting child while in India?

My husband is from the US, I am from the UK; we live and work in India; and are considering to adopt a child from Vietnam as it appears that India is currently very difficult for international/intercountry adoption.

Anyone out there with simliar experiences / able to offer advice on how to pursue this, particularly for getting the home-study assessment done?

many thanks

-shirley and james

Some, though not all, American agencies will work with Americans living overseas. You need to contact all of the American agencies licensed in Vietnam and see which ones will work with you.

As to having a homestudy, the U.S. Embassy in India should be able to steer you to a provider authorized to do one for you. The placement agency you choose may also be able to assist you in linking up with a homestudy provider.
