from Denmark

The Danish agency Danadopt posted this on November 2 (they posted in Danish of course, so this is the google translation with a little help from me):

Our first two families to receive a [normal] referral under Vietnams' new system recently brought their children home from the Hoa Sen orphanage in Binh Thuan. They had a fine stay in Phan Tiet province. The process was the same as before the new law, and the families resided in Vietnam for almost 3 weeks.
 
We have been informed that more Vietnamese children are being adopted within their own country.  The longer release period under the new law, during which the children must be advertised in the media for 6 months, makes childless Vietnamese families more aware of children who need a family, and they therefore seek to adopt.

There is still no news on when the DA will hold the next matching meeting, after which new cases may  be sent to the provinces, depending on how many children are free for international adoption.
