Tu Du Hospital Warning Posted on U.S. DOS Website

Today the United States Department of State issued a warning on their website concerning the reliability of documentation of children born at Tu Du Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.  According to the DOS statement:

In light of these discoveries, the Department of State and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recommend that U.S. adoption service providers refer children born at Tu Du Hospital only when the child is a special need child or when all parties can ensure that the information pertaining to the birth parent can be verified, where a birth parent can be identified and/or when a birth parent can be interviewed to confirm that the child qualifies as an orphan in accordance with U.S. law.

PAP’s with questions regarding their case can contact USCIS with specific concerns at USCIS through HCMAdoptions@dhs.gov.
