Congressional Letters Sent to Guatemala

The Congressional letters have been sent to Guatemala with 76 Senators and Congressmen signing on. Seventy-six congressional signatures demonstrates the importance of the issue to resolve the "grandfathered" transistion adoption cases from across the United States. Amazing! Our Senator's office said that a bi-partisan iniative with this many signatures proves that this is an issue that Congress is taking seriously. Typically you would not have near this many signatories.

The letters are going to President Colom and 3 high ranking Guatemalan officials from PGN, CNA, and the courts.

I am proud of the in-process families and all their hard work to obtain the signatures. Of course, "shout outs" go to friends and family members who also made calls and sent emails! The physical letters were mailed down with copies being hand delivered by our US Embassy.

You can always count on adoptive families to work hard---what a tenacious group! Someone once said that it was the adoptive families that continue to shed the light on the cracks. We will continue to do so until the cases are resolved and the children have permanant families. Thank you!
