international adoption  For eight straight years international adoptions in our country and around the world have declined.  However, orphaned children are still in desperate need of forever families.  "Both Ends Burining" is a non-profit foundation dedicated to creating a positive culture of adoption.

 

About Both Ends Burning.

Both Ends Burning is leading a movement to demand change in international adoption.  The organization is creating the political and social drive to enact real change and ultimately reverse the declining trend line in adoptions.

 

Both Ends Burining's first step is to expose the issue so that they can be in a position to promote solutions. They are taking on the monumental task of a 62-city barnstorming tour to form a loud and proactive voice for the children who are currently being ignored. You can influence the outcome of this tour. 

 

STUCK the documentary premieres in Rochester.

The centerpiece for the tour is the new, award-winning documentary STUCK.  Both Ends Burning will premiere the film on May 5th at the AMC Webster 12 Theater, at 7pm, followed by a Q&A and talk. 

 

To see the trailer for the film, learn more about both the tour and the organizations' volunteer needs, and to purchase tickets for the screening, please go to www.bothendsburning.org. They have sold out in some cities, so they encourage online advance ticket sales.

 

STUCK is a testament to the power of human love and the undeniable connection between parent and child – even when separated by thousands of miles and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is a love story of a different kind that celebrates the human spirit, the loyalty and the devotion that bonds these parents and kids together as families.

 

Our request to you.

To make the greatest possible impact for the children, it is paramount to increase awareness of the issue. You can help by spreading the word and inviting everyone in your network to join us by sending them this link: STUCKUrge them to be part of the experience in your city and in other cities during the tour. By doing so, you will help create the necessary momentum and take the first step in changing children’s lives.

 

The tour culminates in Washington, D.C. on May 17. That afternoon Both Ends Burning will lead the Step Forward for Orphans March when we will deliver the signatures gathered on the petition to members of Congress. You can sign the petition now by clicking here. You can also text “orphans” to 67463.  Please put this important date on your calendar. I invite you to come to D.C. in May to join us as we march together.

 

Thank you for supporting this important initiative.
