I doubt the congress is going to be positively influenced with a picture of some American with an adoptive child along with a desperate note. The persuasion would come with pictures of the children at the Guatemala City Dump trying to survive. Most likely there will be more children living and dying in the streets or at the dump with the upcoming proposal.
Unicef doesn't give us, adoptive parents, enough credit. My hope is my daughter may someday give back to her birthplace whether it's through pride, education and/or financially...
