Part 2

BIG THANKS to everyone who sent a quick email last week!!
Now there is one additional step we're asking you to help with on June 2nd, 3rd or 4th. This step is more involved so we're praying that you find it in your hearts to set aside five minutes or so to make a phone call and follow-up with an e-mail.

Here is what to do:
On June 2nd, 3rd or 4th, please contact your Congressional Representatives and Senators and ask them to support A Child’s Right Campaign for Vietnam.

Here's how to do it:
1. Call both of your U.S. Senators and your Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives. You can find your Senators’ phone numbers and email address at www.senate.gov. There is a scroll down menu with each state at the top right of the page. You can find your Representative’s phone number and email address at www.house.gov. Enter your zip code in the box at the top left of the page.

When you get them on the phone you can say:

“I/we urge the Senator/Congressperson to join the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption and sign their letter to Secretary Condoleezza Rice in support of the recommendations found in Joint Council’s A Child’s Right Campaign for Vietnam.”

2. If they have not heard about the Campaign, ask them to contact the Congressional Coalition for Adoption Institute at 202-544-8500 or Joint Council on International Children’s Services at 703-535-8045.

3. Send an email to everyone you called. The e-mail message can be the exact same thing you said on the phone.
The e-mail is important, but the phone call should be placed first.

Updates: At least one couple with our agency received their referral 2 weeks ago!
On Friday the USCIS implemented the awaited DNA testing information. You can read all the details here if you'd like.

Once again, we appreciate your support as we try to bring home Baby Wieds!
