Africa Genocide and Other Present Day Issues: Please Review

Hello,
     I wrote a Novel and entered it into the Romance gather Contest.  My novel includes several present day conflicts/ problems that are going on in the world today:  The Genicide in Africa is one big problem that I have addressed in my book.  Even though it is a Romance novel, my characters fight for moral issues they believe in.  This is my way of spreading the word on issues that I believe in as well.  Warning it has a graphic intimate scene in the beginning.  The story evolves into so much more than sex. Includes the following topics:

The consequence of the genocide and war in Darfur and Rwanda, left hundreds of thousands of children orphaned or otherwise left without parental care since 1994.

In addition, the children that turn eighteen in American orphanages are turned out to the street, to fend for themselves after High School graduation.

The War In Iraq
