Dispute in Guatemala May Delay Adoptions
Tagged: children, Guatemala, Guatemalan, parents
A dispute between Guatemala’s new government and its independent adoption agency is threatening to delay the adoption of more than 2,500 Guatemalan children, mostly by foreign parents from the United States.
Under a new adoptions law passed in December, Guatemala is requiring that all babies up for adoption must be officially approved and registered before they can be released.
The law, passed under pressure from the United States, is aimed at improving a previously poorly regulated adoption process dogged by allegations of stolen babies and mothers allegedly coerced to give up their babies.”*
