The following members of Congress are co-chairs of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption.
I’ve listed their locations next to their names as well as an appropriate contact person and number.
It ALWAYS helps if constituents they represent call and express concern.
So folks who live in Florida, Minnesota and Louisiana calling in to their respective member would be VERY helpful.
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (Nate Caldwell, 202-225-1002) – Florida
Rep. James Oberstar (Chip Gardner, 202-225-6211) – Minnesota
Sen. Mary Landrieu (Stefanie Jones, 202-224-5824) – Louisiana

[...] But the hands and feet need the rest of the body. They need us to hold them up in prayer. They need us to hold them up financially. They need us to hold them up by spreading the word. They need us to petition to let adoptive parents bring their children home to the states now. [...]

Don’t make the children suffer any more than they already have when there are homes ready to love them and begin the healing process!
