A family in China needs help and prayers

This is from one of the websites getting the word out:
UPDATE:
I’ve got some messages that the Senator’s office received over 1,000 phone calls this morning, and we can stop calling now. They are working on it. Let us hope they can find a solution that makes the USCIS and Consulate happy and gets this family home as quickly as possible.

To make a long story short...Dennis and Sandi went to China to bring home Hannah 2 weeks ago. While there Dennis passed away from complications due to diabetes. You can imagine the strength Sandi needs right now to deal with her husbands death and bringing home a new baby. NOW the US Consulate is refusing to issue Hannah a VISA to enter the country because Sandi's marital status has changed!!! Grrrrr. This is the last thing anyone would want to deal with in China let alone someone in this sensitive situation. Please see the link below and do what you can. Prayers are most important, so I beg you to pray.
Here is the blog with more information.

hello, I know you don't know who I am, but I am friends of billy and jo coppedge. I saw your comment on their blog and knew from the title of your page that you must be adopting or have adopted. My husband and I are adopting....although we've just started. We are filling out our dossier right now. We are adopting from Ethiopia. Please check out our website markandamberadopt.blogspot.com
I would love to hear about your adoption journey and any advice you'd like to give.
