You may have heard about the documentary Stuck. It's been all over FB and everywhere from babycenter.com to every facet of the adoption world. It simply explores 'the system(s)' of international adoption, how the process is failing these children and what we can do to help. It challenges ours and other countries' governments to do something more to help these kids find homes. To make international adoption easier and faster. (And I know the clip says that international adoption is about $28k, but I've known it to be anywhere from $20-$50k!!)
Check out the below trailer of Stuck and consider viewing the documentary. You can click here to see if it will be shown in a theater near you. Or you can watch online here or purchase here.
Before (or after) you watch the Stuck trailer, please take what will be maybe two minutes of your time and sign this petition. I'll let you read it for yourself as it's short and to the point, but as you can imagine, it simply encourages President Obama, other elected US officials and government officials of other countries to make a child's right to a family a priority. Once you sign, please share on FB, twitter, your blog, via e-mail.... somewhere so that some of your friends might sign as well. And yes, if you sign this petition that is on change.org, you will get e-mails from them. Don't let that stop you from taking two minutes to do something that doesn't cost a cent and could have a HUGE impact. Do what I did if you'd like. The first time you get an e-mail, simply unsubscribe. :-)
