So we adopted domestically, so I know NOTHING about international adoption.

I have a friend who recently discovered that they might be unable to have children and had always discussed adopting from Guatemala.

I started to research it for them this weekend only to discover it seems like all adoptions are on hold? A treaty or something was supposed to be completed in April, but that doesn't seem to have happened.

Yet, reading through some threads it seems like some of you are still in a process of some sort.

So...

What is going on? Can you still start the process, knowing it will take longer than it might have before?

any word on the treaty and such...

any advice overall...

sorry to be so vague...but truly a newbie and absolutely clueless.
