Scroll down half way. here’s the paragraph:
John Kerry quote:
“I also spoke with President
Kabila about another issue which has been a concern of late, and that is the
question of adoption for families in the United States and friends of mine in
the Senate who know that there is important, required attention to this question
of international adoption. Here in the D.R.C. since 2009, the number of American
families able to provide a house to children who have lost their parents has
grown each year. And today, I urged President Kabila to move as rapidly as
possible in the review of the situation that raised some concerns, and also to
lift the new freeze on international adoption from the D.R.C. We want to enable
Congolese children, who seek to, to be able to be matched with parents abroad
who are eager to provide them with a secure and happy future. And as someone – I
have seen this firsthand. My sister has adopted a young child from China. I know
how positive and important this can be for everybody concerned, and I think it’s
an issue that’s important to all of us as a matter of basic human
decency.”
This is huge! The work that BEB (Both Ends Burning) has done has been incredible! We're so thankful for organizations like this who advocate for adoptions! Praise God!
We need our Canadian government to see this urgency as well.
