Good News...Hope it is Solid
Called PGN today. We were told that the Girls file moved from the 1st Reviewers Desk to the 2nd Reviewers Desk on March 24. We were told to expect two weeks on the 2nd Reviewers Desk and Final Signature to our lawyer. We would be very happy if this comes true!
Maybe our next delay...
Few days after the Attorney General celebrated the triumph of his wife who was appointed by the Congress as one of the magistrates of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal,Mario Gordillo, Attorney General was politely requested to present his resignation, by the Chief of Staff of President Colom. Gordillo refused such request. In a press conference held yesterday at the PGN, Gordillo expressed that he will act as Attorney General until March 2010, because he was appointed by Oscar Berger in 2006, for a period of four years, and that he will file legal resources to prevent Colom from firing him. President Colom has said that he needs someone who does not have a conflict of interests, like Godillo has, because he belongs to another political party, has a wife in a high position and he is not handling efficiently the adoption processes. We can attest that it is not only adoption processes that are not being properly handled, but all the processes where the PGN has to act as such. Because of the PGN interference, the abandonment processes take years and that affects negatively the children, because the worst enemy of an abandoned child is time. The PGN lawyers do not go to the hearings, or demand unnecessary documents to prevent the judge from ruling on the merits of the case and when the child is ruled abandoned, the PGN files an appeal, that even if it is not granted, it takes many months of the life of the child who is waiting. There is need for a change in the way the PGN is being handled. Gordillo must go. It is necessary that someone who has the best interest of the children at heart, is appointed as Attorney General. This is the time when you can tell President Colom, the problems with your adoptions, due to the groundless requests of the PGN. His email is cartapresidente@scspr.gob.gt. Don't wait any longer. Write now and make a difference in the lives of the Guatemalan children. On and on and on...

Luck of the Irish
Paperwork was completed on Friday and we are back into PGN today, St. Patricks Day. Let's all hope the Luck-of-the-Irish is going to come our way and make for a speedy OUT.

Back into PGN, Please
Have not heard anything from the agency. We are just hoping that all went well with the necessary paperwork this week and we will get back into PGN today or Monday. This KO certainly "took the bottom right out of the boat", but all we can do is wait and hope for some divine intervention to get them home before their 1st birthday (May 11).

We were kicked out today by the 1st Reviewer. Birth mothers ID Card had a correction on it--now we need an affidavit explaining and confirming validity. It will take until Friday to get the affidavit and they hope to have us back in by Monday, March 17.
