While speaking with their office this week, I was told that the SL Government has agreed to change their law regarding the 6 month residency for all adoptive parents. They have changed it "administratively" so far. Our State Department is working very closely with the SL Government to get this new law completely changed into a "Law". They anticipate 1-2 months to completion.
The SL Government has also been very accomodating to the US Parents & their families. They have treated them very kindly & want to get this whole thing worked out so the children can come home. I hope this encourages those who are waiting.
