I guess if the Prime Minister agrees with me that it’s not in our countries best interest to allow non-Armenians to adopt Armenian orphans, then the time, effort and risk of this investigation was well worth it. I’ll have to give him a call next week to see if he agrees with the rest of my plan and will give me a green-light to straighten this whole mess out once and for all so we can tackle other important issues?

Jacky... while the law states that anyone can apply for adoption of an Armenian child... it is well known here that now the PM office will NOT approve a non Armenian family - CAS is completing our last non-armenian family next week and will no longer accept non-armenian families into the program. Also note... it is imperative to be Christian as well and a letter from your church stating that as well. As you are Jewish and non-Armenian... it would be unadvisable to attempt an Armenian adoption... be careful in letting anyone promise you that they can complete an adoption for you specifically through Armenia... as it would be a drain of finance only... warm regards from Yerevan...
