Agency Recommendations

My husband and I are trying to decide on an agency to complete an adoption from Vietnam. Can anyone pm me with your agency and experience with them?


Thanks!

I will pm you both with the name of our agency. We are very happy with them. There is a wide variety of agencies - my advice is to choose one that is licensed in Vietnam (umbrella-ing is illegal), be wary of agencies that promise very short wait times for infant girls, or very short wait for travel after referral. Also, there are agencies asking parents to carry large amounts of cash into the country - this is a red flag for me.

The process does seem to be stabilizing and if you find the right agency, it's not difficult. Best of luck!

Hi Amanda,

Would you be willing to send me a PM sharing the information that you received about agencies? My husband and I are also in the process of researching agencies.

Thanks!!

Lisa
