Vietnam's National Assembly's Standing Committee has agreed to fully support the signing and ratifying of the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Inter-country Adoption. The Hague Convention, as this document is more commonly known, is a set of policies meant to ensure the protection of adopted children.

"Since 2003, with the Government's 68/202/ND-CP decree coming into force, a number of agreements on child adoption with other countries have been signed and an International Adoption Department under the Ministry of Justice has been set up."

Ratification of the Hague Convention took several years. Vietnam had to set several policies in place to ensure conditions were in line with the convention's requirements. Source: Vietnam Bridge
