Coming up: Sandra and Family on CNN

Back in early November, I was interviewed on adoption issues by a reporter from Seychelles Broadcasting Company's television news arm.

The local version of the report aired a while back, but some of it was repackaged and sent to CNN for their, "World Report" segment. I had word this morning that it will be airing this weekend.

There are two versions of "World Report", one on general news, referred to below as 'Program A', and one focussing on one topic, this time issues of children, called 'Program B'. We will be on program B.

I have no idea how this will come across, but I'm pretty sure there will be some shots of my darling children, so it may be worth a look.

As an international broadcast, the time is airs will depend on where in the world you are. Below is the schedule I received:

Yes, we saw it here. I don't know how CNN works in the US, but I would think it would be on their international broadcast, which may be different. Friends in the UK saw it, so it did air internationally.

My kids looked great in it, but I was once again reminding why I so very much prefer radio!

If I get a good copy, I may post it on YouTube for family and friends. Or not.
