U.S. Special Advisor for Children's Issues, Ambassador Susan Jacobs will travel to the Netherlands, France, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan from September 16-27, 2013, the U.S. State Department reported.

"From September 23-24, Ambassador Jacobs will meet with Kazakhstani government officials to discuss mutual concerns about the welfare of Kazakhstani children adopted by U.S. citizens and the Kazakhstani government's suspension of adoptions to the United States," the U.S. Department said.
