Alvaro Colom of the National Unity of Hope Party stands with his wife Sandra as he claims victory in Guatemala's presidential elections in Guatemala City, Sunday, Nov. 4, 2007. Colom defeated retired Gen. Otto Perez Molina who conceded defeat after results from 95 percent of the vote showed him trailing Colom by 6 percentage points.Alvaro Colom won with 52.84% of the vote. It remains to be seen what his position on international adoption will be as that is a small part of Guatemala's total picture needing reform. He's got a huge job before him if he holds to his political promises.
