Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
I am praying for them.

“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is
forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”- _Luke 12:6-7_

As many or most of you know my wife and I adopted a girl from China
in March, 2008. She became a citizen of the United States the moment
her feet touched American soil in the airport in Chicago and her
passport was stamped with the appropriate stamp. She also gained the
rights due any other American citizen including the right to inherit
property just as any natural born children would gain by right of birth.
Thus adoption of children has become my passion.
This week I was made aware of a situation, that we too could have
faced, but fortunately did not, nevertheless I wish to assist this
family in any way possible.
An American couple adopted a little 4 year old from China on the 28th
of July. At that point they became her legal parents. After that
one has to go to the local approved health agency for a medical exam
to make sure they can come to the United States. When they went, the
little girl tested positive for TB.
Under new rules put in place by the CDC on July 1st, all children
2-14, wishing to come to the United States, have to be tested for TB.
The problem with this is, if the child tests positive, they have to
stay in the country they were adopted in, for some unknown time until
the CDC approves their immigration. So on Friday, this couple had to
leave their new daughter behind in China, while they came home. She
will not be able to enter the US for a period which could be from 2
to 6 months.

You can then scroll down to read more or click on the calendar in the
right side to see backward in their story or on the 8th for the
latest action plan to bring their daughter home.
The favor I ask is that you read / sign this petition and pass along
either the link to the petition to or this entire note.
