Grace:
Excelentissimo presidente Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva:
 
Dear President Lula:
 
 
Como cidada brasileira e mae, eu venho por meio deste email interceder em favor de David Golman, pai do menino Sean Golman que perdeu a mae em outubro passado no Rio de Janeiro. O menino mora com o padrasto e os avos maternos, e seu pai tem lutado incessantemente para recuperar a sua guarda e te-lo junto a ele em sua casa em New Jersey nos Estados Unidos.
 
As a Brazilian citizen and mother, I urge you through this email to support David Goldman, the father of Sean Goldman who lost his mother last October in Rio de Janeiro. The boy lives with his step-father and his maternal grandparents, and his father has fought incessantly to restore custody of his son and have him back with him in his home in New Jersey.
 
Presidente, voce tambem eh pai. Voce deve saber como o amor pelos filhos eh incondicional. Imagina o seu filho ou filha vivendo em outro pais sem a mae, enquanto voce esta sozinho e disposto a cria-lo e dar-lhe o amor que ele merece. Imagina quando forcas externas previnem voce de estar com o seu filho. Imagina a dor e a sensacao de impotencia numa situacao que deveria ser muito simples: a mae, morreu, deixa eu ir pegar o meu filho e ajuda-lo a recuperar-se da perda da mae.
 
Mr. President, you are also a father. You must know how the love we feel for our children is unconditional. Imagine your son or daughter in another country living without his mother, when you are alone and willing to raise them and give them the love they deserve. Imagine the pain and feelings of impotence in a situation that should be very simple: the mother died, let me go get my child and help him or her recover from the loss of his mother.
 
Presidente, use empatia neste caso. Coloque-se na situacao do pai. Dizem que o Sean esta bem adaptado ao Rio e a vida que tem agora, mas isto nao quer dizer que o pai deve ser privado de criar o filho, ainda mais quando este pai eh um pai amoroso e que tem condicoes de dar-lhe uma qualidade de vida. Eu mesma mudei com minha familia para um pais estrangeiro quando pequena, e me adaptei muito rapidamente, assim como a maioria das criancas.
 
Mr. President, please use empathy in this case. Put yourself in the father's position. They say Sean is well adapted to Rio and he life he has now, but this does not mean that a father should be deprived of raising his son, especially when this father is a loving father and has the conditions to give him a quality life. I also moved to another country with my family when I was young and I adapted very easily, like most children do.
 
Por isso presidente, nao deixa isto nas maos da Justica brasileira. O ramo judiciario ja provou ser lento e nao antenado com a realidade. Voce pode e deve fazer uma diferenca.
 
Therefore Mr. President, do not leave this in the hands of the Brazilian justice system. The judiciary power is slow and not tuned in to the reality. You can and must make a difference.
 
Respeitosamente,
 
Respectfully,
 
Grace

Please remember to mention that there are now over 50 cases from the United States to Brazil representing over 60 children, not to mention those from other countries (Canada, France, Australia) that I know of so far.

Teena:
Great letter! I agree with Tweinstein, if you have not sent the letter please mention the other children. Not only will it help the other parents but it also adds to the fact that this is a serious problem.
