Cheri,
I am sending this announcement to many different organizations, including LGBT
groups, Colorado Heritage Camps, local adoption groups and nationally through
some
groups I am a memebr on through Yahoo. The only requirement is that the kids
who send in stories or pictures (for those unable to tell their story through
words)
must be internationally adopted. I guess the long answer is yes for her
internationally adopted children. I am currently planning to edit a book for
children adopted through foster care as well but that is a project I am
reserving for 2013.
