another simple request

JCICS (Joint Council on International Children's Services) has just initiated a campaign for reform of adoption practices in Vietnam which includes accountability measures for U.S. agencies that would allow adoptions to continue under an
interim memorandum of agreement until Vietnam accedes to the Hague Convention. As I've mentioned before, the current agreement is set to expire September 1. Should this campaign work, there is a good chance that adoptions will be allowed to continue after the September 1 deadline.
The campaign is described in detail HERE

Please read the recommendations and, if you are inclined, send an email in support of A Child’s Right Campaign for Vietnam to:
advocate@jcics.org

Send your email no later than May 30th.
Your email will be included in a petition to Congress.

Thank you!!!
