Back in 1995 a local TV station was doing a story on infertillity and got our names because we fascillatated a support group. At the time we had just stopped with the infertillity treatments and had begun the adoption process. Their story had 3 couples, 1 going through inertillity treatments, 1 who was successful and had triplets and us who were now adopting. At the end of all that the reporter(now news anchor) asked if we would call her when we adopted. 3 years later I called her and told her we were going to Russia. She couldnt get approval from her station to go with but came out several times before we left and met us at the airport with about 50 other friends and family. We were exhausted when we got off the airplane but it was nice to see everyone. We had friends offer to spend the night the 1st night so we could sleep. That was a blessing as Jordan woke up at 9PM after sleeping the whole flight home and was up for the night. For us we enjoy having family and friends around and the big group didnt bother us. Jordan was smiling and loving all the attention.

The story ran 4 nights on the news and prompted several couples in the area to adopt internationally after seeing it. We know run an adoption support group locally and have 20 families in it.

A year and a half later when Jordan got his citizenship the same reporter came back and did a small story on that.

I think we have had our 15 minutes of fame.
