Journalist

As you may know, there are government folks in Kaz who want to stop adoption by singles, and some who want to stop adoptions altogether.

I was recently contacted by a journalist who is on an extended visit here in the USA, and wants to interview me for an article about how well adopted children are doing in their American families. She is going to publish this in Kazakhstan, in hopes of encouraging MORE adoptions, instead of the opposite.

If you are anywhere near the Atlanta area, even in the state of Georgia or nearby, and you have any interest in being interviewed, please PM me. This lady will be here for a visit in a couple of weeks. She speaks fluent English.

That's great!! I hope it is successful!

I'd love to interview, but I'm about 5 hours from Atlanta.

Let us know how it goes!
