Thanks for your comment, Heidi. (And yes, I agree – it is long!)
You can contact your Senators and your Representative to let them know that you oppose this bill, as it was introduced in both the House and the Senate. You can also contact the Foreign Relations Committees in both the House and Senate, as well, and indicate to them that you are opposed to the passage of this legislation.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your analysis of this bill. I agree with many points and will share this with other adoption forums to which I belong. Rather than post this site address, though, I’m going to copy and paste excerpts. There are too many people who would take exception to the parentheses in Brian’s comment and I don’t wish to detract from the objective and academic quality of your message by angering Christians who are not on a crusade but rather are looking for a child to love and to enrich their lives.

Very well articulated. The problem is that the adoption industry (supported by Christian organizations who believe they are on missions of God) has more members, more money and more influence in Congress than the reformers. It is truly a David vs. Goliath battle.

I appreciate your voice in this battle.

Wow, well put. I already opposed this legislation but this is an extremely eloquent (though longish) explanation of why. Who should I be contacting to oppose it. U.S Senator or my Rep? Or both?
