and I still cringe every time the phone rings - so QUIT calling me! :) So far no bad news from our agency, but since we are supposed to expect at least one previo, we are just waiting and waiting so we can get it over with! The longer we're in the harder it will be to take. :(
Guatemala's Congress read and passed a new Ortega Law the day before yesterday, then they had the 2nd reading which passed yesterday. It takes 3 readings to be final. We've been waiting on pins and needles to find out the details, but of course there aren't any coming. It's rumored there is a grandfather clause, but we don't know what it says and this Law is NOT good for Guatemalan adoptions. Apparently the US is pressuring to keep the date Dec 31 instead of of April like Guat seems to want it to be. Grrrr. We thought the 3rd and final reading would be today so at least it all could be resolved and we'd know what we are dealing with, but NOOOOOOOOO, the congressional session ends tomorrow so now we'll have to wait until they call an emergency session sometime in December.
My patience is wearing very thin. It's bad enough we have to fight the Guatemalan government, but to have to fight the US government is such a disappointment.
Thus a new Call to Action has been advised and I'm off to talk to Senators once again.
