There has been a lot of attention drawn toward adoption in Guatemala over the last several months due to the upcoming ratification of the Hague Treaty both in Guatemala and in the U.S. Unfortunately, much of the attention has been negative, which has been both frustrating and sad. Very few people actually know or understand what is happening not only with adoptions in Guatemala, but International adoption in general. We read the newspaper articles or watch the various news programs on t.v. that depict International adoption in a bad light and needless-to-say, many people believe what they are reading as the gospel truth. We want and need people to understand the real truth and the reality of International adoption.
Because it is rare that a newspaper, magazine, or t.v. show depicts a realistic picture of International adoption, when it happens I feel it is my job to share this information with as many people as possible. In my opinion, this article states the sad truth of what has happened and what will happen in those countries that limit or completely end the possibility of International adoption for children in their countries. I'm including the link to the article in hopes that everyone will read and share this with others. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/02/AR2007110201782.html

Thank you for posting this. It is so nice to see the media give the real story. Adopting is such a noble and selfless act. I admire all who are and have done it. What you go through is so much. I value knowing you all and reading your stories. I am so glad that I have a best friend (Cammie) who is this stong and has shared others stories with me. You all are unbelievale people.
