How you can help!

As you may or may not have heard Russian adoptions have been suspended as of today. As this is a political problem I have already emailed my senators, congressman and President Obama. You too can do this, because I have written an email for you.

For your Tennessee Senators and Congressmen/women here are their emails address:
Senator Lamar Alexander (I couldn't get this one to work)
Senator Bob Corker
CongressmanJim Cooper (if you live in Davidson County)
Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn(if you live in Williamson county)

Dear,

As you are aware Russia has recently suspended all adoptions to the United States have been suspended. This may or may not be permanent suspension.

I have some very close friends who recently traveled to Russia for their first of two trips to Russia to adopt their child. They told me that saying goodbye to their child on the last day of their visit to Russia was one of the hardest farewells they have ever experienced. And at that time, they only thought there would be six to ten weeks before they saw their child again. Now it could be an eternity if nothing is done.

They have also spent a very large sum of money for a young couple in their endeavor to adopt so far, and that too may be lost if nothing is done.

What I ask from you is that you make it very clear to President Obama, the Russian delegation and anyone else who may be involved in a decision to come to a quick agreement to continue Russian adoptions. Please make it clear that adoptive families would not be against required check-up by the Russian government.

Please do not let the foolish actions of one affect thousands of US families and thousands of innocent children.

Sincerely,



President Obama can be contaced HERE
Here is a letter to send to President Obama:

Dear President Obama,

They have also spent a very large sum of money for a young couple in their endeavor to adopt so far, and that too may be lost if nothing is done.

What I ask from you is that come to a quick agreement to continue Russian adoptions. Adoptive families would not be against required check-up by the Russian government.

Please do not the foolish actions of one affect thousands of US families and thousands of innocent children.

Sincerely,

If you have time please consider contacting your elected officials. Let them know that this is important.
