At the American Adoption Congress (AAC) Conference in NYC, 1989, I organized a march around the Hotel Roosevelt and a "Red Ribbon Ceremony" which engendered lots of press coverage

In the summer of 1989 approximately 100 adoptees, mothers, and adoptive parents...

...joined those who had marched from NY to Washington DC:

Joyce Bahr, Marlyn Burson, Judy Taylor, and Sharon Bell...led by Joe Soll.

As Director-at-Large for the America Adoption Congress

I organized a "Speak Out" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
