Order. I'll just wait for the witnesses to take their seats and then we'll be ready to begin.
We're very pleased to have with us, for the second hour of our committee, Julia Alarie, Tracy Clemenger, Wesley Moore, and Elspeth Ross. Thank you all for being here.
If you were here for the first hour, you heard that each one of you would have about five to seven minutes to do a presentation. If you watch me, I'll let you know when you're getting to the end. We are pretty strict on our time requirements.
We look forward to hearing you.
We are really trying to stay focused on the federal support measures that can be provided to adoptive parents, so we would just ask all of you to try to stay in that purview, while at the same time letting us know what your experiences are and what the effect has been on you and your family.
We will begin with Mr. Moore, please.
