AP Exclusive: US alleges baby-selling in Vietnam
美联社独家新闻： 越南贩卖婴儿猖獗

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- Vietnam has failed to police its adoption system, allowing corruption, fraud and baby-selling to flourish, the U.S. Embassy says in a new report obtained by The Associated Press.
美联社越南河内报道—— 据美联社获得的最新报告，越南收养制度失力，随处可见腐败、欺诈，贩卖婴儿猖獗。

The nine-page document describes brokers scouring villages for babies, hospitals selling infants whose mothers cannot pay their bills, and a grandmother giving away her grandchild - without telling the child's mother.
长达9页的报告描述了经纪人为买婴儿在村子里穿梭、医院因产妇无力支付费用而卖掉新生儿、婆婆瞒着儿媳将孙子送人。

"I'm shocked and deeply troubled by the worst of the worst cases," said Jonathan Aloisi, deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi.
驻河内的美国大使乔纳森•洛伊斯说，“这些最恶劣的事件令我震惊，我深感不安。”

Vietnam's top adoption official called the concerns "groundless." Bribery of orphanage officials may occur, but serious offenses such as baby-selling or kidnapping are not a problem, said Vu Duc Long, director of the Department of International Adoptions.
越南收养高官称这些担心“毫无根据”。国际收养部主任Vu Duc Long说，贿赂孤儿院官员的事儿有可能发生，但不存在贩卖或绑架婴儿这类事情。

The dispute comes amid a boom in adoptions from Vietnam. Americans - including actress Angelina Jolie - adopted more than 1,200 Vietnamese children over the 18 months ending March 31. In 2007, adoptions surged more than 400 percent from a year earlier, with 828 Vietnamese children adopted by American families.
收养越南婴儿的热潮引起了争议。截止到3月31日包括女演员安吉丽娜•朱莉在内的美国人收养了1,200 多名18个月以上的越南孩子。2007年收养热潮再度升温，被收养人数比去年增加了400%，美国家庭收养的越南孩子达到了828人。

While China remains the most popular overseas country for adoptions, a growing number of Americans are looking to Vietnam, which has fewer restrictions. The wait for adoption approval has also gotten longer in China after authorities there tightened rules.
虽然美国人仍旧热衷收养中国孩子，但越来越多的人把希望寄托在越南，因为那里几乎没有约束。在中国等待收养许可的时间也变长了，因为中国政府制定了更加严格的收养制度。

U.S. adoption agencies active in Vietnam said that despite some cases of wrongdoing, most adoptions in the country are ethical.
活跃在越南的美国收养机构表示，尽管有些是不道德的行为，但在越南多数收养行为是符合伦理道德的。
