FCV Directory for Families Home C
The FCV Family to Family Directory provides a place for parents to announce the progress of their adoptions. It also serves as a resource for parents to connect with one another to talk about agency and adoption experiences. The directory is organized by adoption status (ie, in process or completed) and alphabetically by last name. If you would you like to be included or to update your listing, please go to: Add me to the FCV Family to Family Directory.

| Special comments | We would appreciate to be on your list because we try to obtain information on the
biological parents of our daughters. Therefore, we use all possible paths to reach someone who could inform us.
We think that their status of adopted child's will be easier to understand and accept by themselves if we can give
them a clear description of what was their lives before adoption, why they have been given to adoption, what's
the name and address of their parents (actually, we have this last information for Valentine). We also would like to find someone in Vietnam who can read my mails and communicate with the biological parents of Valentine. By that way, we could send them some information about the evolution of their daughter Chung. |
