A collective sigh of relief. We just received word that the Commission on Children and Families in Guatemala DID NOT approve the new law proposal. As such, it will not move on to the full Congress for a vote. This does not mean that new threats will not arrive, but things are back to normal for the moment.
As I have written in the past, it is in the times of calm that we all need to find ways to get involved. If we only gear up once there is a threat, eventually it will be too late.
Posted by Kevin at August 10, 2005 02:11 PMHi, Kevin:
Basically why didn't it pass? Could it be brought before the committte again? Are there others out there that want the same thing?
Please advise, I'm just about to complete my dossier.

Posted by: mary-kate at August 10, 2005 06:15 PMPlease let me know as well what I can do to get "involved". I am about to start my process and wonder if I should consider another country or dual applications.
