Jury out as Vietnam, US look to revive adoption programs

Friday, March 08, 2013 09:45

The two countries are on track to restart scandal-beset adoption programs, but have a long way to go to ensure ethical and transparent practices, experts say

Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie (C) and Brad Pitt (2nd, R) get off a plane with their children at the Con Son Airport on Con Dao Island, offshore of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province in Vietnam on November 11, 2011. Jolie was in Vietnam for her first known visit since adopting an orphan from the country in 2007. Insiders and experts are cautious as Vietnam and the US are looking to revive adoptions that were halted in 2008, saying much is needed to be done by both countries to keep the adoption processes clear of unethical practices and fraud.

Orphaned children, many of them afflicted by cerebral palsy and disabilities, fill the playground of the Thi Nghe Orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City's Binh Thanh District.
