    I’m considering Pearl S. Buck.
    They seem like a good organization… I will have to do more research.

  2. sarah_engelbrecht says:

    Do NOT use Little Pearl (having them receive their license is part of the reason that ACS has really scaled back). They have had multiple people deported for “black-market” babies.

  3. Rebecca says:

    thanks Sarah, I will be researching them and will post what I find in a follow up post.

    A commenter states “Do NOT use Little Pearls. They have had multiple people deported for “black-market” babies.”

    I wonder if this commenter has any tangible evidence of this?

    This is a pretty huge allegation and perhaps your readers would benefit from facts to back up such a statement.

    Thank you

    Hi! I am seriously considering
    attempting to apply for a VN
    adoption, in spite of the current
    difficult politics and deadlines.
    I am debating between Adopt
    International – newly licensed in
    in VN and little experience
    there but they say the orphanage
    they are licensed for has children
    and they need dossiers. Versus going with World Child, longtime
    experience in VN with MANY people
    waiting for referrals prior to the
    deadlines. Which should carry more
    weight, in-country experience or
    an agency that is connected to an
    orphanage that has children available? Interested in others’ thoughts on this.
    thanks.
    Linda
