I understand this woman's frustration, but this is really not a wise idea. This is a country where it's own people have a good amount of fear of authority. While something in their laws appears to be "legal" we all know that their laws are suseptable to change. Just look at what was supossed to be legal as far as grandfathered adoption. Thjis is a third world country, no laws are etched in stone. What happens if this woman is arrested and since it is their country, what happens if there is a negative affect on her pending adoption?
PGN is the one holding things up, albeit to try and insure that these adoptions were on the up and up, but what if they get angry and do something ?
Then what happens if she ends up arrested in in jail? This is not the US where you are innocent until proven guilty. I do not know the laws in Guatemala but just watching the raids of the hogars and other aggressive forms of law enforcement dealing with Guatemalan citizen, I don't think they would be so kind to a foreigner.
I relize this woman feels powerless and wants to do what she can, but the reality is until the adoption is final this is not her child and PGN has the ball in their court. Not a wise idea at all and can cause more harm than good.

PGN is just trying to do some damage control, a day late and a dollar short. What they are doing is attempting a crash course at adoption reform. Had they implemented this type of program way back when they first suspected unethical practices things would have never came to this.
