I just have several things to mention.
1 - As you know, this site is a mix of passing information and opinions. I have tackled a couple of co-writers that are helping me with the site (which I am very excited about as this can be quite time consuming and I like being prompt with information).
2 - The UNICEF petition is still active CLICK HERE to sign or review.
3 - If you have not written letters yet, we have sample letters that were put together with the consultation of FOA and ADA. CLICK HERE for the sample letters.
4 - Embassy of Guatemala to the US News Release (yesterday)
5 - MONGOLIAN SPOTS - Ok, so this is the mismatched part of this post. However, since my little girl went to daycare for the first time yesterday, I wanted to mention the importance of documenting Mongolian Spots. CLICK HERE for more on that!
6 - Yes, an adoption *process* has been annulled in Costa Rica (I believe it was the law put into place August 2002). I am getting clarification on what was reversed or how it affects US adoptions (that are currently non-existent right now). I believe CR is a very interesting case to follow since Casa Alianza is headquartered in San Jose, they are a Hague country and there are several other parallels.
Posted by Kelly at July 10, 2003 06:32 PMCan anyone give me any idea of when in the process the : “acta de requerimiento or notarial deed of adoption” is filed? My power of attorney is filed, my DNA has been done, my case is out of family court (as of this week) and back with my attorney and NO where can I find where in the process this would be filed.
