Women lobby for adoption
Kathleen D. Bailey in The Exeter News-Letter reports:
In an effort to get the country of Romania to amend an adoption law that bans the adoption of Romanian children by non-Romanians, Schaaf, of Stratham, and Carla Boudreau, of Milford, traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to meet with Romanian Prime Minister Andre Nastase and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mircea Geoana.
Although the Romanian officials didn’t make any promises, they did show sympathy and interest in the women’s cause, according to Schaaf. In her view, the trip was successful in adding two more advocates for the 250 Romanian children who are in the process of being adopted by non-Romanians.
