My point was that we will probably spend more time on the bilateral agreement with Vietnam but we are making progress with Russia. In other words, we are addressing the issues which arise in this regard. I do not wish to give an impression that the process has stalled completely but a great deal of our time is taken up with the agreement with Vietnam because it is the most popular country for foreign adoptions. We also have an excellent relationship with the country and we recommend it to prospective adoptive parents.
