We are New Zealand family, we have lived in Bolivia and my parents adopted 2 little Bolivian girls, and are now not allowed to enter New Zealand with them.
They have been made to go through this long process which is not advancing and with heartless people incharge.
They can't even enter on a visitor visa while they process the citizenship, so my father is stuck alone in New Zealand, while my mum and 2 sisters are stuck in Bolivia. Waiting for stone hearted paper pushes to decide whether to recognize them as a legal part of our family and allow them to enter as citizens, from being children of 2 New Zealanders.
During this waititng time, my sisters are yet again feeling a feeling of brokeness as they can't be with their daddy.
How would you like this to happen to you? it shouldnt happen to the children of 2 New Zealanders, especially when many people with no New Zealand conections can still enter the country as long as they have a visitors visa.
If you think this law needs to be re-visited, please sign my petition to let John Key know that they are dealing with a family and 2 little children's lives, not just papers.
Dear Hon. John Key,
Please consider the case of these 2 little girls, whose parents are both New Zealanders and are currently separated from the only daddy they have ever known, because the law wont allow them to live in New Zealand until they are citizens.
So please consider how you can help this family to be re-united after already 4 months of separation - with an indefinite period ahead of them.
Yours sincerely,
[First name] [last name]
