Please pray for the children in Guatemala....

"As recently published by Nuestro Diario, a leading Guatemalan newspaper, children are being abandoned to the streets at an alarming rate. With few government institutions to provide care and the closure of many private institutions, some birthmothers are simply leaving their newly born children in trash dumps. Nuestro Diario reports that in Guatemala City alone, 91 children were found abandoned with 70 being new born infants. Twenty abandoned children in Guatemala City were found after they had already perished. What is being done to build a social service system which not only protects children from corruption but also from a tragic death?"


I went to an adoption playdate this afternoon, it was Guatemala and China adopted children. This wonderful family who adopted a little boy adopted from Guatemala and are waiting for a girl in china created a fun Valentine party for the children. I spoke with many of the families who ,like myself who are very scared and sad for the children in Guatemala who are left on the streets and in crowded orphanages because Guat. adoptions are closed.. This problem will only get worse.. PLEASE pray for these children, their birthmothers and families . Please pray that there will soon be a solution for this very heart breaking situation....These children with so many tears need and deserve forever families , forever home and forever love........
