What happens in Vietnam?

Here's a VERY brief answer....

You travel to Vietnam and head to the orphanage where you meet your child. You will attend a formal giving and receiving where your child becomes yours officially in Vietnam. (called the G & R) Papers are signed and the government gives you your child. The first of two interviews are set up in Saigon at the USConsulate. You travel to Hanoi for the second of interviews waiting on the passport to leave the country. Your child will get a Vietnam passport to travel your given a packet that when you arrive in the US makes your child a U.S citizen if your husband saw your child before it became official, a resident alien if your husband traveled after the Giving and Receiving. This would cause you to readopt to obtain Citizenship for your child.
