The way I understand it, there were some illegal adoptions between guat and countries other than the united states. Most countries do not require the DNA testing, that is something mandated by the US. A mother is tested to prove she is in fact the bio mother, proving a legal right to put the child up for adoption. There were a few, very few ocurrences of babies stolen for adoption.
Sooooo,....although the US has taken measures to insure legal adoptions, other countries have not. The Hague will implement that policy into guatemalan law to protect all parties, and prevent any future cases of babies being adopted on the "black market".
