With everything that has gone on with adoptions over the past few years, I did not realize one could change an Embassy appointment due to schedule conflicts. The Olympic Committee meeting in Guatemala the week of July 2nd has caused some serious problems in securing accomodations for many adoptive families. Because of this and a handful of other conflicts, we decided to change our appointment to July 9th. I had sent an email implying we were having a conflict and needed to attempt to reschedule for July 9th or 10th. We had not heard back from the Embassy after several days, so with some information from one of the great followers of this website, we were able to reschedule. Evidently the trick is to put in all "caps" APPOINTMENT CHANGE!! List adoptive parents names, adoptive child, and bio-mom's name. If your case # is handy, that will suffice as well.
it is so nice that the adoptive community shares information like we do!! It is invaluable in navigating the complicated adoption process - especially in its ever-changing nature.

for those travelling to Guatemala with their small children, any special advice? Do we need shots for our 4.5 year old? Has anyone ventured to Antigua or elsewhere?
thanks
