Dateline NBC to Air Our Story on Sunday

We are excited to share with you our story of the adoption of our 3 sets of twins from Russia, which will be airing on Dateline NBC on Sunday, June 25th at 7:00 p.m. for the full hour. The Dateline website at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032600/ will have video clips of all of our children that were just filmed days ago describing their life in the last two years, and their thoughts on their life before in Russia after the segment has run.

It is our prayer as a family that the large platform our children will hold on Dateline NBC will be a window to their healing for many others to witness and perhaps be moved to make a difference in other children’s lives.

In closing, we would like to ask you to please rate this story after it airs on the Dateline web page. You simply click on the line from 1-5 (hopefully near the 5). We’re hoping that your input will cause Dateline and other media sources to continue to air positive stories that benefit children and change lives for the better. Also, feel free to email or write Dateline to further add positive input. Help us show NBC and other networks that we applaud positive stories that really change lives.

Warmly, Lisa Salem -
Mom to 3 Sets of twin miracles

I can't wait to watch this. It is so happy to see a positive adoption story. I have my DVR set for it.

Thank you for doing this program.

This is wonderful news. A while back many of us from this forum were writing and calling different news shows, Oprah, newspapers hoping to get one of them to do a show about the positive adoption stories. I'm so thrilled it is happening!

Thanks for posting, I knew nothing about the upcoming show, now it's in my Tivo!

Am I confusing this with something else! I soooo want to see your story. Could you just reconfirm... The web site is probably WRONG!!!!

Blessings................... Alli
