Fernando de la Cerda, Minister Counselor at the Guatemala Embassy in Washington, DC , has returned to Guatemala and will be meeting with officials from the CNA, PGN, and MP and others.
Fernando also announced the creation of a position at the Guatemalan Foreign Ministry that will deal with adoption issues full time. Fernando was very excited about the appointment of Lissette Ordonez to this position, as it will give his department someone on the ground in Guatemala City who has immediate access to the organizations dealing with adoptions in Guatemala.
The announcement of such a position is a positive sign for the hundreds of waiting families and waiting children. This is a hopeful step to a further opening of the communication lines between the Guatemalan entities involved in the grandfathered cases and with the US entities.
