MAY IT NOT BE IN VAIN

IF MY BEING IN PRISON

enables the masses to understand the

desperate need for adoption reform;

IF MY BEING IN PRISON

brings a fresh awareness of the blatant

discrimination and unconstitutionality

of sealed records;

IF MY BEING IN PRISON

leads adoption triad member to speak out

on their own behalf in a more dynamic way

and arouses them to speak, to act, to paint

or to write passionately about their

tremendous loss of family connections;

IF MY BEING IN PRISON

causes the leadership to question and rethink

their ultimate purpose and goal and how to reach it;

IF MY BEING IN PRISON

starts a fire burning within the hearts & minds

& souls of those committed to this cause;

or

IF MY BEING IN PRISON

simply gives courage to you, my friend ---

THEN MY INCARCERTION

WILL NOT HAVE BEEN IN VAIN!
