Vietnam has announced that it will not renew a bilateral adoption agreement with the U.S. The announcement comes in the wake of a U.S. Embassy report that outlines corruption in the adoption system.

"In its nine-page report, the US Embassy said some American adoption agencies paid orphanage officials as much as US$10,000 per referral, while others took them on shopping sprees and junkets to the US in return for a flow of babies. It said questions arose after routine investigations turned up widespread inconsistencies in adoption paperwork."

The director of Vietnam's International Adoption Agency called the U.S. report "groundless," saying the United States has been uncooperative. As of July 1, the country will stop accepting American adoption applications. Source: Shanghai Daily
