Recent JCICS Post and Template Letters

[Moderator]

Adoption.com board report that JCICS has posted the following message:

10/1 - The U.S. Department of State has issued a new statement,
suggesting support for the continuation of Guatemalan adoptions
already in progress. The text reads as follows: "At this time, over
3000 applications for adoption from Guatemala are in process with
USCIS or the Guatemala government. The U.S. government is asking the
Government of Guatemala to allow such cases, now pending, to proceed
to completion without additional requirements." It is Joint Council's
understanding that the U.S. Department of State will continue to
advocate for the uninterrupted completion of all transition cases.
This public statement of a longstanding USDOS policy is a credit to
the early efforts of the Guatemala 5000 Initiative, and we thank the
Department of State for their child-centric efforts.

Additionally, help template letters are available from the Guatadopt
web site on this page:http://www.guatadopt.com/archives/

Please pass these on to your friends and family and do not forget that
we need to support the 3635 Bill.

Thanks.
