Do you ever meet someone who simultaneously amazes you and frightens you with their tenacity and strength? Meet my dear friend Gina.
This woman is fearless. Literally flying across the world, talking to anyone who will listen, to try to bring her daughter, Evie, home. I admire her so. One person who would listen was Sarah McCarthy, filmmaker. Sarah is working on an amazing documentary about Russian-American adoption.
I know sometimes it’s easier to just look away from the hard stuff, but I’m asking you to open your heart up for 5 minutes and 10 seconds, for Gina and her daughter Evie. Today is all about freedom, and let’s do everything we can to know that Evie may know freedom, too.
I hear you. Hers is one of the most heart-warming stories I’ve heard during this past 6 months, and I’m doing everything I can to support Evie and MANY others just like her. I remain hopeful.
