Families seek medical visa for Vietnamese orphan amid stifling rules
Joplin Missouri reports how Melvin and Cheryl Karges and Pam and Randy Cope struggle to obtain a humanitarian parole or medical visa for 6 year old Tuan Van Cao. Despite medical doctors stating urgent need for treatment unavailable in Vietnam and private funding lined up, U. S. officials deny relief. The case highlights tightened immigration rules since 1997 that hinder international adoptions and urgent medical aid.
