Update and Urgent Request

My heart aches as Sandi has been denied permission to bring Hannah home. Please continue to pray, ask others to pray, contact her congressman, find out if there are any influential government leaders who can help!!!

Here's the newest email:
The US Consulate in Guangzhou has denied Sandi Sheldon permission to proceed with the adoption of Hannah. They want her to fill out a new I-171 and are making no guarantees after that. Sandi, of course does not want to leave China and leave Hannah here because she has no where to go. Sandi needs our help desparately! Please start a massive campaign of calling to her US Congressman and US Senator and urge them to intervene on Sandi's behalf.

We have discussed this with Sandi and she wants our help. Please pressure these elected officials to contact the State Department and straighten this out. Sandi Sheldon should not be denied Hannah's adoption because her husband passed away unexpectedly. The adoption has been finalized here in China. Sandi's congressman is Mike Rogers. His Washington office number is 202 225 4872. His Michigan office number is 517 702 8000, he also has a toll free number 1-877-333-MIKE. Sandi's US Senator is Debbie Stabenow. Her Washington DC number is 202 224 4822 and her Michigan office number is 517 203 1760. Everyone should try to help and call these people until we get final approval. We should continue to pray that her adoption is finalized quickly and that Sandi can return home to Michigan with Hannah. Thanks from everyone here in China. Patrick & Eva

Also, here's another one: Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice: 202-647-4000 email is secretary@state.gov UPDATE! I just tried this email and it wouldn't go through. Try this website http://www.congress.org/congressorg/mail/?agencyindid=117&type=AN you should be able to email through there. We can all do this! Let's flood her mailbox! And if you can, dial her up and the above Senator and Congressman.
