Hi everyone As most people here are well aware, Australians face significant hurdles when trying to adopt. There is a new petition that I invite ( urge!) you to sign that will be presented to the Federal Govt. www.adoptionaustralia.org/There are eleven initial changes that the petition targets. Most interesting is the need to provide potential for NGOs to facilitate adoption services, rather than the current requirement of working with government departments only. Also a push for Australia to open up new country programs and to reduce waiting lists (can I hear an amen?!). Please join with me in signing the petition - and please share the link with your networks. The link also provides a draft letter that can be sent to your local MP.

The previous Deborra lee one has been removed and I believe this is the replacement...

Actually... I just saw that the original one is now sitting at a new address, the old URL no longer active. www.orphanangels.com.au/but there are no details about what the petition is for, and previous references to Deborra lee are no longer there. Who knows! Sign both! It looks as though the new one is a more coordinated approach with backing from FCC.
