Vietnam adoptive parents have started a petition asking the US government to streamline the Visa process for adopted orphans so that they will be able to come home more quickly. What once took 1-2 weeks is now taking 2-3 months (at least)! If you'd like to sign the petition, please go to the following link. Help get these babies out of the orphanages and in to their loving families!
