Adoption Help
I know we haven't updated in a while - we've been too busy doing fun stuff as well as getting ready for high-wedding-season! But this is important to me and calls for immediate attention!!!
Some of you may know this and some not, but my friend Rachel and her husband Brian have been in the adoption process for a long time - they started the process at the same time I was pregnant with Sophia. And Soph is about to turn 2. Obviously, they have waited a long long time and had some very difficult and unfortunate experiences throughout the process. Russia is currently considering closing adoption to American couples due to a recent incident with an adopted child, but truly, this would be a very sad ending for so many families about to be united. These children need families who will love and care for them, and I know that Rachel and Brian would be the best parents ever. So there is something that you can do.
Please sign this petition - it literally takes 1 minute - and will be delivered to Presidents Obama and Medvedev while they meet requesting that a child's basic right to a loving family not be taken away through the suspension of international adoption between the US and Russia.
You can read more about Rachel and Brian's adoption journey on their blog.
