FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Lepolia West Announces Book Release, "Officer, Why Don't You Adopt Him?"

Gary, Indiana- January 30, 2012-- Lepolia (Lee) West has released his book, "Officer, why don't you adopt him?" West's book is based off of his adoption success story, which includes his struggle to become the first bachelor in Indiana to adopt an infant. West's mission to adopt was difficult, as he was a bachelor with a dangerous career, and bachelor's weren't considered to be an eligible adoptive parent.

While serving the Chicago Police Department, an abandoned infant was brought into the local hospital, igniting West's passion to become the boy's father. At the time, West didn't want to be a father, but God instilled the passion in West to be the father the boy needed and deserved.

Although many told West it was an impossible battle, he continued on his journey to adopt the infant. However, West's aspiration to be the boy's father became more difficult because another family wanted the boy too. After an unfortunate turn of events, the shooting death of a Chicago Police investigator, West's journey became easier with the help of the public.

The highly publicized case caught the attention of many publications, including the Chicago Tribune, The Wall Street Journal and Ebony Magazine. After a long and passionate battle, Lepolia West was finally able to adopt the boy, becoming the first bachelor in Illinois to adopt.

West's story caught the attention of Chicago actress Ann Jillian. Jillian informed Hollywood producer Joyce Selznick of West’s story in 1981. Selznick and West reached an agreement to develop a feature film or television series to share West's story. However, Selznick unexpectedly passed away before production commenced.

West’s journey inspired him to help others interested in adoption by sharing his story in the true book, "Officer...why don't you adopt him?"

“I believe, that if men and women would choose to address this social issue of abandoned, abuse and neglected kids, many of the wrongs of this world could be made right again," West said.
“Officer, why don’t you adopt him?” is available for purchase at www.officerleewest.com.Link

If you went onto your Facebook pages yesterday, you may or may not have noticed a slight new change-- your posts were served. That's right, your posts are now served to people not seen by people. At the bottom of your posts, you'll now see, 'this post was served to XX people' versus 'seen by XX.' What's Facebook doing? Who knows. Probably a little experiment. Whether it sticks around or not, we have yet to see. This isn't the only change. Facebook unveils new changes all of the time, with a couple new recent changes. Among the most recent changes is the revamping of business pages. This process has been slow and not all pages have been converted yet. Basically, business pages on Facebook are getting a new timeline design...again. The new look is essentially narrower, with all of your page info and control options on the left, with your Home feeds being in the center. Why?  The news feeds have been modified to appear the same on both desktops and mo...
