Well, yesterday we received the sad news that the Ortega Law passed in Guatemala yesterday. This is not good news and as far as we can tell at this point, there is no grandfathering clause in the Bill for those of us still "in process" on January 1. We've been bombarding the Department of State and our US Senators and US Reps to ask them for help. Apparently there is another reading on Tuesday of this Bill and hopefully Amendments will be added. Ugh, we are trying very hard not to freak out. Please pray for us, and especially for the babies in process whose birth moms have already given up their rights and now their adoptive parents may not get to bring them home. What happens to them?
Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) left me a message today asking for me to talk with him about this - I am shocked to get to actually talk to a Senator instead of his staff. I hope I don't sound like an idiot. :)
