Update on the Guatemala 5000

We got a great email from our case-worker, Amy, this morning. She sent us a short update about the progress of the 5000 children placed to families in Guatemala. Below is an excerpt from the message she sent.

Through our collective efforts, the Guatemala 5000 Initiative has resulted in 203 Members of the United States Congress supporting the completion of all in-process adoptions via their signature on letters being sent today, October 31 2007 to Guatemalan President Oscar Berger, UNICEF Executive Director Ann Veneman, and UNICEF Guatemala Director Manuel Manrique. The 203 Senators and Representatives represent the largest number in the 22 year history of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption and the first time the Coalition has addressed UNICEF.

Joint Council thanks the thousands of adoptive families and their friends who made calls, sent faxes and emailed their Congressional representatives.

WAY TO GO FRIENDS AND FAMILIES! We really appreciate all those that helped us in getting Logan, and all the other children home to their families. It's wonderful to see what the Lord can do, through His instruments.
