We went shopping for some supplies last night. But we got a call from the GLA board member who said they need medical supplies, so we will go out again today. If you are in the PDX area and can help with suture materials, rubber gloves and medical equipment cleaner, please email: jillswilkins@hotmail.com
We found out that the Baptist Mission had to do a double amputation on an 8-year old girl yesterday… with NO anesthesia. Oh this is just heart-breaking. I fear for what I am about to see with my own eyes.
Jill is working like crazy to follow/participate in the US government decision for adoptions trying to figure out where our paperwork stands. We know it is considered “legal” though we don’t know IF we have that paperwork: the “final adoption decree.”
Children with Finalized Adoption Decrees
Through continuing meetings with the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, Members of Congress and other child advocates, Joint Council can ensure all, that every effort is being made by the U.S. government and child advocates to find a method by which children with finalized adoption decrees can enter the U.S. and be united with their adoptive family. While the U.S. government has yet to announce a decision and procedure for uniting adoptive families and children, we remain very confident that a positive resolution and decision will be made very soon. Joint Council, other advocates and our colleagues in the U.S. government recognize that time is critical and that an expeditious positive solution is necessary. Rest assured that the necessary organizations and entities are taking every possible step and moving as quickly as feasible given the nature of the crisis.
