I hope everyone was able to vote today or already voted. There's an important bill (Adoptee Citizenship Act) that effects adoptees, who are not covered in the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, to potential give a majority of those adoptees citizenship. Despite being introduced to the house and Senate twice, it hasn't move past that stage.

To all those strong women around the the world who marched today, we support you and thank you for making a stand. Have an empowering International Women's Day. #internationalwomensday #adoptionbeat Cr. Those who created these pictures
