Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

Jul 25, 2008

Meeting in DC next Wednesday!

Our attorney in Washington, DC is also representing other families stuck in the current situation. One of the HOT HENS has secured n important meeting involving Representative Price next Wed. Price has been a huge advocate during this "fight for our children" as well. So, if you are in his district in eastern NC....don't forget him come next election time! We need the help of our representatives and Congress to advocate to GET the "specific information" about what needs to be provided in response to the RFE...to prove our children living in the Tuyen Quang (TQ) orphanage are really orphans! I know it sounds crazy every time I type it...as I have already stated, if you live in the ocean, you are probably a fish or some type of sea creature! Common sense has been thrown out the window!

Halle Grace continues to seperated from us, her mom & dad! The other babies/children do as well. If you are reading this, please be in constant prayer for the families! I believe in the POWER of prayer! Even if you don't, pray anyway, because I know He hears you and I appreciate you taking the time to do so! So many friends and family have asked Jason & I on numerous occasions...what can we do to help? Well, if you know President Bush personally and can call him PLEASE SPEAK UP! If you know someone personally inside the DOS or USCIS in Washington, DC...PLEASE SPEAK UP! If you have a ton of money that can be shared to pay all of the added legal expenses for all of the families...PLEASE SPEAK UP...LOL!!! But seriously, PRAY! That is all we can do at this point. We have worked deligently since April fighting everyday, contacting everyone you can imagine.

Our agency told me this morning that all paperwork has been turned over to their attorney for review and hopefully we will have these reports soon to share with our personal immigration attorney....EXHAUSTING! Jason & I are BEAT UP!

Again, this is going to be a long road and when we received our RFE on July 19th they told us we had 84 days to respond...I think that is Oct. 11th??? I pray Halle Grace is home to celebrate her 1st birthday!

God Bless you all and remember the TQ families and our children!
