Our agency gave us more info on the Child's Right Campaign for Vietnam. The JCICS (Joint Council of International Children's Services), several adoption agencies, and the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) are initiating this Campaign.
"It is through this advocacy group that we are can get word to Congressional Representatives and Senators of the urgency of the situation in Vietnam. This Campaign consists of families making contact with their Senators and Congressional Representatives urging them to support the Campaign and the continuation of adoptions in Vietnam."
The campaign is asking all adoptive families and anyone else who is concerned to participate in this Campaign by contacting your Congressional members. Holt International set up a program that will allow you to make this contact. All you have to do is go to this link, http://capwiz.com/holt/issues/alert/?alertid=11402851. Go to the issues and legislation tab and you will see the “Contact Congress Now” page for this Campaign. You can modify the text of the message and put in whatever you wish to convey. Once you put in your name and address, the email will go directly to your Congressional members. Feel free to call their local offices as well to convey your concerns about adoptions in Vietnam being at risk and that you are asking for their support for this Campaign and for the continuation of adoptions in Vietnam.
