Can U help us say thanks, please?

For those who have not lost interest in our matter yet, we will be boldly requesting a bit more help on Tuesday. This will give us tomorrow to lay some groundwork, and also allow time to put together a more clear and concise explanation of where we currently are.

In the meantime, would you mind helping us with the FUN and IMPORTANT task of saying two new important thank-you’s this week?

1. Thanks to Congresswoman Deborah Pryce in Ohio. You can email her by clicking on http://www.house.gov/pryce/ and clicking on the “Email Deborah” link on the left. For issue, choose “Children”. Please note that Kristin, the lead Legislative Assistant who helped us is a Michigan fan, so I will NOT be converting to the Buckeyes even though this letter came from Columbus.
   
   
2. Thanks to Senator Mary Landrieu in Louisiana for doing the same.
   http://landrieu.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm, click on “Contact Me” link. For subject, please choose “Adoption”.

Please just use your own words and be brief. I'll bet it is rare for them to get large volumes of thank-you's for situations like this.

Why are we so grateful to them

Both of these offices wrote us excellent letters clarifying the role and authority of US-CIS. Although neither of these letters fulfills the Attorney General mandate, the fact that two lawmakers took the time to research and write them may make it a lot easier to get the remaining two letters. God willing, their efforts will one day help ensure that this level of documentation (and corresponding stress!) will not be necessary for future American-Kenyan adoptions. In the meantime, we applaud their courage and idealism.

Neither of these offices had anything to gain by helping out non-constituents who are currently living in Kenya, and may never be able to vote for them. Not to mention that they are both Democrats and we are registered Republicans! But they did it anyway. That’s a bold statement about the value of each and every child.

Thanks and good night.
