FOR ALL IN-PROCESS FAMILIES to COMPLETE
Two of the Guatemala900's greatest allies are Joint Council on International Children Services (www.jcics.org) and The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (www.ccai.org). These two organizations are tirelessly working for the Gautemala900 grandfathered cases every day. JCICS and CCAI recently approached the Guatemala900 and expressed a need for a comprehensive database of remaining grandfathered cases. JCICS and CCAI expressed that having this information will maximize the effectiveness of their advocacy work.
We know that the waiting families are no strangers to surveys. So why participate in another? The reason is simple - it will give our powerful allies the best tools to advocate for all of the children in Guatemala and families in the United States that are awaiting due process. The database created from this survey will supersede all previous databases, so it is important for all waiting families to participate.
To minimize the chance for data transfer error from our current database, we respectfully ask ALL In-process families to please participate in the the new survey asap. It should only take 10-15 minutes to complete. JCICS and CCAI will email to their extensive contact database in an attempt to find more in-process families, thereby expanding our voice and making us that more more effective in our efforts to to obtain “due process, due now!”
To participate in the JCICS/CCAI/G900 survey use this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Guatemala2010
You will need to know the name of your Congressman and you will need to have either your PGN number and or your CNA number. So have those handy when you go to complete the survey.
Please if you are not a waiting family but know any families, please send this announcement along to them.
Thank you and let's hope this helps finalize our story.
