Current News from Guatemala

Guatemala's congress has added a special December session to vote on the Ortega law amendments. Also a separate bill related to adoptions , containing proposals offered by JCICS, was read. It is uncertain whether the second bill will be voted on in Dec. or not. Hopefully the effective date for new legislation will not go into effect Dec. 31st.

It has been a secret as to what the amendments entail, but it is hopeful that the Congress will place the needs of the children being adopted currently and those in the future above political pressure and financial gain.

We are resting in the fact that the Lord controls the hearts of kings and whatever the result of the vote is sovereignly within His plan and not a mistake. All for His glory and our good! May our prayers be aligned with God's will.
