I know that not all of us are doing interntational adoption but I would like to ask you all to write to your U.S. House Representative and ask them to support H.R. 628. You don't have to write anything long, just a quick note that asks for their support.

This bill would change the expiration of the I-171H from 18 months to 24 months. You can read more about it at Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

You can look up your U.S. House Rep at Congress.org

The I-171H is a huge piece to completing an international adoption and can sometimes expire while waiting for a referal which just adds to your stress and will cost the families more money to get it renewed extending the life of the expirations would really just be a great relief to these families.

Thanks so much!!!
