Dear all,

Our daughter, Evangelina, who has recently gained employment with Dove
Adoptions, a Hague Certified agency here in Oregon, has informed me that
the moratorium on international adoptions between the USA and Kenya has
been lifted.  It appears there are several hurdles in Kenya to yet
overcome, but they are willing to start the various procedures to enable
adoptions which meet the Hague criteria.

Evangelina is interested to know if any of you have contacts in Kenya, are
living or working in Kenya, or can advise of agencies, governmental or
NGO, with whom she can initiate communication.

Thanks so much for your assistance.

And Happy New Year
