FAREWELL CALL 
 
REF: KATHMANDU 610 
 
During her July 8 farewell call with Prime Minister Madhav 
Kumar Nepal (reftel),the Ambassador pointed out that several 
U.S. families had been matched by adoption agencies with 
Nepali children in the transition period between the 
country's old and new adoption system. The United States was 
hoping that something could be done for these families, but 
it was unclear who was responsible for the Ministry of Women, 
Children and Social Welfare. The Prime Minister responded 
that Deputy Prime Minister Bijay Gachhadar of the Madhesi 
People's Rights Forum was handling that ministry (in addition 
to Physical Planning).
