Please take a look - missing kids

The Prensa Libre today has a story about some children that are missing and suspected of being in-process for adoption.
I encourage everyone to go to Prensa Libre - Edición electrónica - Portada and look to the right. Under the picture, click on "ver galeria" and look at the three pictures. A new window will pop up and then you click on "presione aqui".
If you recognize one of the kids, let us know.
The PAP community has helped before in locating kids and it is crucial that we show PAPs are vigilant about ethical adoption processes and part of the solution.

GT NEWS: MOTHERS ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR THEIR CHILDREN
Posted on Forum: Today at 05:48:42 AM, Marie, Guatadopt.com

Mothers who have denounced the abduction of their children fear that, if given the go-ahead to the three thousand 200 adoptions that have been registered with the ANC, they will never see them again.
Mothers are still searching for their children
PHOTO GALLERY: See photos of three girls that the mothers are looking for
Photo description: She is a year and a half, was kidnapped when she was five months. She is indigenous.
Opinion: They call for more research Norma Cruz
"We will not rest until you find these girls, and ask to open an investigation against all persons who are connected to these networks. We demand the PGN to verify all of the records, to avoid anomalies, "said the director of Survivors, Norma Cruz.

Carla, Ester and Angela are three of the eight girls who are still in the hands of the networks of international adoptions, but their mothers are unable to find their whereabouts.
The three were kidnapped in 2007 to be given for adoption, but the allegations made by their mothers at the Public Ministry (MP) and the adoption of the law on adoptions halted the process.
The daily bread of mothers of small ones is to go to casa cunas (hogares), look in the eyes of small ones and attempt to recognize in them the look of their daughters and put pressure on institutions for help.
Olga Lopez may be closer to finding her small daughter. Despite the fact that she was snatched away when she was a month and a half old, in one of the searches that were made in homes, Olga believes she recognizes her daughter Carla.
Survivors Foundation, which supports legal and psychologically services to mothers, requested a DNA test through the National Institute of Forensic Sciences in order to certify whether the girl, now a year and a half, is the daughter of Olga. It has been several months and the result has not arrived.
Like Olga, Ana Escobar and Loira Rodriguez do not lose hope, and every day they look between the pages of the newspapers photographs of girls who have been abandoned and which seem to be like theirs.
According to statistical data of Survivors, three thousand children are waiting to leave the country in the market for adoptions, of which 500 could have been abducted over the past year, and therefore requested that their photographs are brought to the light of the mothers looking for their children. Five hundred of those files to the National Council for Adoptions has already given the go-ahead, is signed by the same attorney.
Currently, the Foundation follows up on eight cases of stolen children. In certain cases, such as that of the sisters Alvarado Yat, which were returned to her mother last February 25, after a year and a half of searching, there are two people linked to this process.
Consuelo Lilia Galindo, alleged ringleader of the network, was arrested in mid-2007, but the judge offered her a substitute because the offence for which the prosecution accused her of child abduction-enjoys this benefit. Mirla Donis Sabrina Hernandez, the woman who hosted Mildred at his home during pregnancy and who took the baby to the hospital, is a fugitive.
Galindo's son, Marvin Bran, it was not linked to process, despite the fact that he handled the dossier of adoption of the two sisters in the U.S. Embassy. UU.
The solicitor for Children, Mexican Victor Hugo said he will investigate all members of the network, including lawyers, as the case clearly reflects how to operate these structures.

I feel horrible for their mothers while aI also pray that if they have been adopted that God will comfort the hearts of the adoptive parents as He gives them the wisdom to report it to the authoritites.

This is really heartbreaking. I will pray they are reunited with their birthmoms. I am alarmed at this article that there could be 500 children abducted in the past year. Why are more abduction not being investigated then? How can that happen!!! OMG - that is awful. I cannot understand how someone would be so cruel to steal children from their family. I will pray hard for all the children and families involved.
