Good News!!!!!

Guatemalan legislators approved a new law Tuesday to tighten adoptions, while allowing
pending adoptions — mostly to U.S. couples — to go through without meeting the stricter requirements. The legislation had upset thousands of would-be parents who had invested their savings to adopt a child from Guatemala, which is second only to China in sending adoptive children to the United States. Many feared thousands of children would be left in limbo.

This is outstanding news for us as we are so close to the end in the grand scheme of things. This would have delayed us tremendously.
