November 26, 2007

The expected introduction, reading and vote on an adoption law into the Guatemala Congress this week will not take place. Joint Council has received reports that various protests outside of the Supreme Court, National Palace and Congress has resulted in a delay in the introduction. Apparently there are now concerns that President Berger may veto the bill if passed. It is our understanding that members of the Guatemalan Congress have requested a meeting with the Berger administration to ensure that if passed, President Berger will not veto the legislation.

Joint Council will continue advocate for the passage of an adoption law that is functional, compliant and in the best interest of Guatemalan children. Joint Council will post updates on the progress of the legislation early next week.

Why would President Berger veto the legislation? Isn't he the one who wanted it passed? Am I missing something here?

I was just thinking the same thing...unless they're talking about him vetoing the bill with all the added amendments?? Who knows...sometimes I think this Congress doesn't want to decide this at all...maybe they are hoping to leave it up to the next Congress in January...

I know! I can't make sense of any of it. I wish I had the will to just walk away from my computer and not read everything that is going on....I feel positive one day and crushed the next. I just keep praying for clarity and to have our little boy home SOON!
