Kara Siert, a 12-year old Holt International adoptee from China, recently made an appearance at the home of Britain’s Prime Minister. This update on the young author of the children’s book Tales of Cunburra and Other Stories comes from her mother, Linda Siert:
“Kara continues to remain cancer free after nearly two years post treatment for her bone cancer. Praise God! She continues to write with a passion and has added public speaking to her agenda. Over the last year she has been speaking to 4th-8th grade students about her life, cancer and book. See Kara’s website for photos and comments from teachers. Her book has now sold over 500 copies to date. We are blessed by this latest surprise opportunity to have tea at 10 Downing and for Kara to meet the Prime Minister and present her book to him. We feel privileged that they asked Kara to share something for the video and that they included her conversation with the PM, Gordon Brown, as well. Here she was the only American in the group of 20 children invited and they highlighted her on the video. Amazing! We hope all is well with you and as always are so thankful for all you do to bring these wonderful children into families. We are so blessed to have Kara as our daughter.”
