A month ago I wrote about my friends Mr. and Mrs. Noz, who have been in Kazakhstan since December attempting to adopt a little boy. Well, tragically, they were denied the opportunity to take the boy home with them. They plan to appeal, but today Kazakhstan has decided to stop all new applications for international adoptions. That’s obviously not a good omen for the Nozes. Ironically, however, this policy change allows the Nozes to speak up about what they’ve witnessed in Kazakhstan without worrying that it will unfairly and negatively impact people behind them in the queue who are looking to adopt. So, they would like to tell their story to the media. I think it will be a very interesting human interest story that ties back into the case of Torry Hansen of Shelbyville, Tennessee, who infamously placed her 7-year old adoptive son on a plane to Moscow with a note saying she didn’t want him anymore. Anyone who likes Kafka will have a rich appreciation for this story, which just may still have a happy ending. Perhaps the judges in Kazakhstan will respond to negative international publicity. So, anyone, tv or print reporters or booking agents, who is interested in hearing a tale of adventure and woe and love and insanity, please contact me and I’ll put you in touch with the Nozes. It’s a more fascinating story than the balloon boy, and you might just help heal some good people’s broken hearts.
