About We Are The Truth Campaign

April 2010: An adoptive mother returned her child to Russia. Russian government officials pushed for the closure of intercountry adoptions. Knowing the closure would cause thousands of children to suffer in orphanages, Joint Council launched the We Are the Truth Campaign. Together the adoption community brought awareness to the successes of intercountry adoption. Hundreds shared stories about their families. Over 25,000 individuals signed a letter to be given to Pres. Medvedev & Pres. Obama to bring attention to the issue. The campaign gave the government & public a fuller sense of the truth. All adoptive families have real struggles, but also triumphs. The Campaign ensured that children continued to receive the right to a safe, permanent and loving family.
