Thanks for spreading the word! Feel free to publish the post anywhere and everywhere.
Another update, One of the guys on the Montauk group knows someone in Brazil who may be in a position to bring this to the attention of some important people there. He just reached out to him.

Update!!!!

From 10/03/08
Looks like pressure is on, and Frank Lautenberg and Rush Holt has spoke with the the U.S. Ambassador to Brazil. Letters and EM's still need to to be sent to keep the U.S. Gov't on top of this. Time is ticking away!

From the blog on

We have received an electronic copy of a letter from The Special Secretariat for Human Rights of the Presidency of the Republic of Brazil.

The last paragraph states:
“From the point of view of the Secretariat for Human Rights, as the biological father exercises the legal custody of the child in the United States, the establishment of temporary custody rights in Brazil on behalf of the step father violates the Hague Convention. For this reason, the Secretariat sent a formal message to the National Council of Justice to manifest its concern with the conduction of the case by the local Family court.”

While that sounds very positive, not being fully knowledgeable with the Brazilian judicial system we can only wonder how long the process will take, appeals filed, delays granted, more appeals...
Please continue to send letters and EMs!
