Summarizing the healthcare reform debate

FACE Act- international adoptees deserve equal rights

Support the FACE Act by signing this petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/face-act-of-2009.html

Also, please consider contacting your representative and senators. This is the letter that I sent my senators and representative. Feel free to copy/paste/immitate as you like:

As a parent and a citizen of the United States, I want my daughter, Caroline, to succeed in life and as an American. I want her to be proud of the only country that she will ever know as home. I want to be able to tell her that she can grow up and be anything she wants, including President. However, as it stands, I cannot tell her this.

Our family was formed through international adoption. My husband and I, both US citizens, brought our daughter home when she was only 8 months old. We are the only parents she will ever know, and the US is the only home that she will ever know. However, because federal laws treat international adoptees of US citizens as immigrants rather than as children of United States citizens who happen to be born abroad, my daughter will be unfairly denied this dream.

Support FACE Act legislation (S.1359 and H.R. 3110), and stop this unfair double standard and second class citizenship for children of US citizens.

Thank you for your time.

Other brilliance from Caroline

I should also note that yesterday Caroline added the word “exactly” to her vocabulary.  She even seems to have some idea of the meaning of the word, saying “exactly” while putting a puzzle together.    More and more she is speaking clearly and in 2,3, & 4 wordsentences.

Counting Caroline

Caroline couted out 10 blocks today multiple times with only a bit of help from Mommy! (She tends to forget the numbers 4 and 7) Pretty dern good for 19 months!
