Irkutsk French website

This was posted on yahoo independent adoption group by a French lady. Maybe it will do some good:

Dear listmates,
The 88 French families who have been waiting for up to 24 months for a court date in Irkoutsk have set a website where people can support their petition: www.adoption-irkoutsk.org
It suffices to sign online and indicate an email address, then you will receive a short email which reconnects you to the webpage to validate your signature (no names and adresses requested)

And click around on the site, there is one page called "chambres d'enfants": kids roooms, the families have sent the pictures of the empty children's room waiting for their children stuck in Irkoutsk. IT is really moving... it must be hard to be waiting for your child for such a long time.
Some families have established contact with American families who were in Irkoutsk around the same time. Solidarity is over the seas...
Any of you feel solidarity with the families in wait for up to 2 years after having met their children? Please sign the petition and visit the page?
