Vietnamese Embassy meets with Canadian adopters

Ottawa (VNA) - The Vietnamese Embassy in Canada has held a get-together with Canadian families that are fostering Vietnamese children.

Addressing the event on Feb. 28, which drew the participation of 60 Canadian
adoptive parents, Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Duc Hung expressed thanks to the
Canadian families, saying he hoped that the children would become good citizens of
Canada .

The ambassador affirmed that Vietnam would continue its close cooperation with
Canada to ensure that child adoptions observe sense of humanity and legal
provisions of both countries.

Dorrida Cavanaugh, Director of the TDH Ontario - a charitable organisation for
Vietnamese children adoption in Ontario and Quebec , said over the past three
years her organisation helped about 150 Canadian parents to adopt Vietnamese
children.

She said that all Vietnamese adoptees have integrated into their new families and
their adopters are all happy, and many of them express their wish to receive more
underprivileged Vietnamese children.

The adoptive parents said they hoped that the Vietnamese Embassy would regularly
organise such get-togethers for Vietnamese adoptees to meet each other.-Enditem
