I am very pleased to share that through the efforts of the I CARE Foundation, a young child was reunited from the Ivory Coast back to the United States and into the loving arms of his father. The foundation put a great deal of work into negotiating the reunion, including working a New Jersey Superior Court sanctioned agreement, and helping to facilitate the travel arrangements necessary for the child to be returned home.
"It is a great day when a child is reunited with their child; however, it is even that much better of a day when the child will be raised under a co-parenting plan by two willing and able parents who love their child. Today is one of those special times." - Peter Thomas Senese
I CARE Foundation Helps Create A Miracle: Family Reunification For Young American Child Living In The Ivory Coast For The Past 8 Years
Peter Thomas Senese’s Chasing The Cyclone is a critically praised novel and call-to-arms against international child abduction. The globally recognized I CARE Foundation is a result of the publication of Chasing The Cyclone. Since the foundation’s inception the U.S. outbound abduction rate has declined by 38%. An I CARE Foundation conference at the United Nations propelled Peter to write the landmark global abduction prevention tool, the Hague-oriented International Travel Child Consent Form.
