Introduction of Video by Congresswoman Anne Northup
NEW YORK, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The following are remarks by
Congresswoman Anne Northup, as prepared for delivery at the 2004 Republican
National Convention:
Thank you and good evening fellow Republicans!
We all recognize that a stable, loving family is one of the most
important gifts a child can receive.
In America, adoption has been an important part of building families --
it's important for the parents and grandparents, it's important for the
brothers and sisters, and yes, it's important for our adopted children.
We also understand that some families have room in their homes, and they
have room in their hearts to adopt -- but they may not have room in their
bank accounts.
President Bush understands this very well.
That is why he and Congress lifted barriers and increased financial aid
for families who want to adopt -- particularly those adopting special
needs foster children.
As an adoptive mother myself, I know the joys of adoption.
Please watch this video showing the life-affirming power of adoptions.
