  April 1, 2008Hague Accreditation The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reopened the comment period for an additional 60-day period effective Monday, March 24, 2008. This should allow agencies more imput in the transition and implementation of Hague. January 29, 2008 Adoption Vietnam Discussions about revision and renewal of the Agreement are a priority for both governments, but there is no certainty a new Agreement will be in place on September 1. In view of the processing time required in Vietnam from placement to the Giving and Receiving Ceremony, an adoption process begun now cannot be completed before the current Agreement expires. We do not know whether the Government of Vietnam will continue to process pending cases if the current Agreement expires before a new Agreement takes effect. Moreover, given concerns about the existing level of protection for children in Vietnam, it is unlikely that the Agreement can be renewed.
