Thank you @GovBillLee for your leadership to organize this bipartisan group of Governors encouraging the President to take the necessary diplomatic action to bring these vulnerable kids home from China to their waiting families in Tennessee and across our country!

Today, I'm leading a bipartisan coalition of governors in calling on @POTUS to take diplomatic action to impress upon the Chinese government the need to honor pending adoptions. https://t.co/AioK9VtPkj
