Personal messages can help demonstrate the real people standing with Paul Petersen and his family.
If you know Paul, have worked with him, were touched by his adoption work, or support a thoughtful review of his case, we invite you to share your perspective.
We would especially appreciate a short video, but you do not need special equipment or professional production. Simply speak honestly and record your message using your phone.
If you are not comfortable appearing on video, there are several other ways to participate.
Use your phone or computer to record a short personal message explaining your connection to Paul and why you support him. Your video can be simple and informal. A sincere message is more important than professional production. Suggested length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes
If you would rather not appear on camera, record an audio message using your phone or another device. You may also submit a photo that we can display while your recording plays. Suggested length: 30 seconds to 3 minutes
Submit a photo of yourself along with a brief written statement expressing your support.
You may provide a shorter written statement about Paul, your experience with him, or why you believe his case deserves thoughtful review.
If you have more to share, you may submit a longer personal story, letter, or article. Selected submissions may be published as individual features alongside other supporter perspectives on the website.

These are only suggestions. Please share your message in your own words and only include information you are comfortable making public.
Officials, community leaders, legal professionals, friends, and families have already contributed personal statements and perspectives.
Complete the form below and select the type of submission you would like to provide. All submissions will be reviewed before anything is published.
Every message helps Paul’s family document the support surrounding him and share the perspectives of people who know him, have been affected by his work, or believe his case deserves consideration.
If you are unable to submit a message, you can still help by reviewing and sharing the campaign materials or making a donation.
