RE: African Baby Adoption FAQ

Dear Clients:

At the request of many of our clients, we are now offering an exclusive and dedicated African Baby Acquisitions Strategy Team to our list of services.

As many of you know, adopting an African baby is one of today's hottest trends, but the communications pitfalls are challenging. Done correctly, the adoption of an African baby can be a rewarding and meaningful part of any client's overall public-relations profile. Done incorrectly, however, it can lead to a negative public perception and diminished box-office appeal.

Please review the following Frequently Asked Questions, and contact any member of our African Baby Acquisitions Strategy Team for further information.
