the recent happenings in Guatemala surrounding adoptions (seizing control of a private hogar, arresting attorneys who work on adoptions, declaring that anyone involved in adoption is part of organized crime, etc.) check out this open letter to President Berger from the ADA. It was printed in the Guatemalan newspaper yesterday.

    Thank you for that link. I too have been following the story. Pretty scary. Certainly makes me thankful that we already have our babies home. Beth (on your list) is a good friend of mine in the midst of an adoption there. I worry for her.

    Thanks for posting this. I was trying to follow it before and now that I have read this I understand what is going on a little more. I also read the post below it that talks about the process. I can’t believe that they are constantly adding criteria to the already extensive time consuming list! No wonder all of you that adopt go crazy (not literally) waiting and waiting. Applause to all of you for being so selfless to take the time and energy to wait! Isn’t Guatemala (?sp) a religious country? Don’t they have morals and want what is best for the children? Corrupt government sucks!

    That was good. I liked that it really put the needs and futures of the children first. That is what Mr. President needs to do.
