Helping Families Adopt Orphans Act

Congresswoman Heather Wilson has introduced legislation to extend the life of the I-171H from 18 to 24 months. WIth the referrals now taking 12 months, most families will have to renw this form. If this bill passes, it may save adoptive families lots of time and money! If you haven't already, please take a few minutes to write to your congressman and ask that they support this bill! Below is the link to Representative Wilson's website where you can read about the bill. I have also included the links to the House and Senate websites.
