Secretly, I was always hoping I would be surprised it would move really quickly, but as a practical matter, I knew that was not the case.

The Goldman Act empowered the State Department to seek the return of American children, yet, the department, in my opinion, has not used the full of range of tools as Congress has intended.

What we’ve said to the General Assembly is you’re going to have to have a transition plan that takes that into account.

Since the Goldman Act was enacted there has been a decline in the number of American children abducted overseas and that is a good news story.
