A Few More Articles

There have been a few articles of note since the last time I posted.  I thought I'd include them in case anybody is interested!

A few weeks ago, fellow adopting parents were trying fiercely to get all their senators and congressmen to sign a letter to Obama asking him to discuss adoption at the G8 summit this month.  It was a lot of work by a lot of people.  They even had to go to DC to collect all the signatures in person!  The hard work was worth it, though!  There's even an article in Russia about it!  Here is the link for that article.

Also, did you know that Steven Seagal is responsible for the diplomatic trip to Russia!?  I'm not even joking.  Haha!  Hilarious, bizarre, and awesome all at the same time.  Read all about it here.  Who knew!?  If anyone knows anyone who knows Steven Seagal or knows how to contact him, let me know!  I would love for him to advocate for our adoption!!  How rad would that be if Steven Seagal were responsible for bringing my baby home?  The perfect end to this crazy journey if you ask me ;)

A little girl with Down syndrome who had parents coming for her died.  She had a heart condition that wasn't treated.  This is so devastating.  Here is a link to that story.  (This story is in Russian, but if you open it in Google Chrome, it will translate it for you).  This is one of the many reasons we need to get our kids home.

Last but not least is this article.  This article is also in Russian, but open it in Google Chrome to read in English.  My favorite line of the article is, "The question "b", can be revised ban on adoptions Russian orphans to the United States in light of the promises of U.S. congressmen, Elena Mizulina said that "any law can be reviewed."  Elena Mizulina is a duma member who helped write the Dima Yakovlev law in the first place.  If we can get her thinking that the law should be reviewed in light of promises of U.S. congressmen, that is AMAZING!!!

As always, thank you for your prayers and support!  I will keep you updated of any changes!
