Cambodian Government Suspends Adoptions
|
| On January 25, 2002 the Cambodian Foreign Ministry verbally notified the U.S. State Department that it will suspend the issuance of adoption documentation to American families in acknowledgement of trafficking concerns and other problems in the adoption process in Cambodia. The State Department is working to confirm that these instructions have been formally conveyed to the appropriate offices, and are being implemented. The Cambodian Government's action follows the December 21, 2001 announcement by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service that it was suspending the approval of all adoption petitions from Cambodia.
