Urgent Healing for Daniel
Hello all,
This is a prayer request for the grandson of my next door neighbor.
His name is Daniel W and he is gravely ill. He has been in Pediatric ICU for a week now after having a high fever and some seizure activity of unknown origin. He is being treated for viral pneumonia at this point with two very strong antibiotics. It appears that both lungs are involved and the doctors have put him in a drug induced coma in the hopes of helping him heal. It also appears there may be some brain abnormalities.
To top it off, he turned one year old while in the hospital.
He's the youngest of 3 brothers, they live in South Bend Indiana, he's a sweet little blond fella and this illness came as a complete surprise to his family.
Please add little Daniel and his family to your prayers.
Thank you so much,
Lisa

Home Desperately Needed for Jeffrey
Hi Denise:
I'm writing today to ask for prayers/reiki/any other help/ideas that you or any of your wonderful circle may have.
There is this amazing dog that needs help. He has been at the Hillsdale Humane Society for months and the stress is getting to him and he must get out if he is going to have a chance. Now I know this happens every day somewhere, but you know I'm an animal lover. Add to that I fell in love w/this guy the moment I saw him months ago. He is a very beautiful and special spirit and I haven't been able to get him out of my mind.
He needs and deserves a miracle. His name is Jeffrey.
http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=928 8005
There is a family coming to 'check him out tomorrow' - it is my prayer that they fall in love with him and take him home and give him a wonderful life. This family seems to be a great choice as he would be the only animal and able to get all of their love.
If you could, please please ask your wonderful circle to pray for a miracle for Jeffrey and send him reiki to help release his stress, I would very much appreciate it. Also if any of them is looking for a great companion . . . . well you just never know.
Thank you so much and brightest blessings!!!

Update on Urgent Adoption Prayer
My dear friends and family,
Another miracle has occured. In less than a week over 3000 Guatemalan adoption cases were registered and are now "grandfathered". We are hearing only around 100 cases were not successfully registered for various reasons.
We are happy to report, Maria Concepcion is registered and we can now move forward with the adoption of our daughter.
We thank, each and everyone of you for your thoughts, prayers, concerns and comfort over the last few weeks(and months). We certainly could not have made it without the support.
We now need Pre Approval(US Embassy) to re-enter the next phase of PGN(Guatemalan)
side). It has been over 70 days of a not so patient wait. We ask for your continued prayers that we can receive word from our government next week.
Our God is amazing! You are amazing!
Much love and peace,
Sue, David, Zara and Maria, getting closer to coming home!

Urgent Adoption Prayer
My dear friends and family,
We call upon you once again for pray in the Guatemalan adoption process.
We asked for pray for PGN(Solictor General's office) to re open earlier in Janaury and it did. We asked for pray for the new Central Authority to be established with a process to register the grandfathered cases and it was this week.
Now, with urgency, we ask that you pray for the Central Authority to fullfill the law and register the outstanding adoption cases by 2-12 which is the deadline imposed by the US Government and Unicef. Thousands of children are at risk of losing their families who are ready to offer them love and support.
If you have the patience, please read the article below. If God leads you, please contact your government representatives and make them aware of this issue by Monday, 2-11(Maria's birthday)! If you feel compelled to do more, please send to your friends and families to ask for further pray.
As always, we thank you for your love and your prayers.
Sue, David, Zara and Maria(waiting to come to her forever home)

REGISTRATION OF ADOPTIONS AT THE CNA: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
The director appointed by the Supreme Court, Rudy Amilcar Soto Ovalle, and the new appointed directors, Marilys Barrientos de Estrada and Elizabeth Hernandez de Larios, barely three working days before the registration time is up, set up a system to register again the cases, that can only be described as the best way to not register them. A half page announcement in Prensa Libre and five clerks to field all the work, was all the preparation made by the CNA to do it. Today, there were about eighty people waiting in line to present their registration forms, but from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. the five clerks admitting the forms were able to admit only
those presented by five people. During the afternoon, somebody of the CNA distributed numbers among those waiting in line, to allow them to present documents during the weekend. At the rate of five people per day, it will take a lot more than the remaining four days to accomplish such task.
The registration is as follows: the clerks review each line of each form and compare the copy presented earlier to the former CNA with its original, and carefully check if there is something missing, line by line. Any blank that was not filled out is cause to reject the form. According to CNA, things as the name of the attending doctor or midwife at the child delivery is very important, and the lack of information about that detail is a reason to object the presentation of the form.
The explanation to the registration process can be found in the arguments of the CNA, expressed to the Amparo Court, to support the need of the four page registration form, which are the following:
1) The lawyers are used to fill out forms in the adoption process, like the ones they do for the PGN and for the US embassy, so why do they argue about filling out another form, and it is a well known
fact, and therefore does not need proof, and the media offers constant information about it, that many children in adoption processes have been separated violently from their mothers, kidnapped and traded as any commercial goods, in open violation of their human rights, established in the Constitution, the laws and
the international conventions ratified by Guatemala, such as the Convention for the Rights of the Child and the Hague Convention.
2) It is obvious that before giving the constancia of registration, the CNA must verify, in coordination with the PGN, as required by Article 57 of the Adoptions Law, all those aspects inherent to the
process of adoption to be sure that the best interest of the child is the most important consideration in their situation.
3) The information required in the forms is neither private nor confidential, since the Adoptions Law is a public policy law which is not in the field of the Private Law, but of the Public Law, because it deals with human beings that are not in the human commerce and therefore cannot be traded or sold as if they were
merchandise, because the State is obligated to guarantee them their life, their personal safety and their integrity.
4.) To support what the lawyers who filed the amparo claim, would be to deny the effect and legal force of article 57 of the Adoptions Law, which is a transitory norm, that applies specifically to the in process adoptions, and not to those that will be done according to the new law.
We have no doubt that the CNA is seriously confused. One thing is registration of adoptions in process and a very different one is the registration of the different forms of child care, of children who are not being adopted or whose adoptions are not registered with the CNA.
Article 57 of the Adoptions Law states:
Regularization. Within the following thirty days after this law becomes effective, the Central Authority in coordination with the PGN will verify the situation of the children subject to the present law, who are under the care of persons, foster families and private institutions, to start the process of registration, authorization and supervision established in this law, as well as to start the judicial processes of protection of the children.
The whole and only purpose of the grandfather clause established in Article 56, is precisely to remove the adoptions in process from the scope of the Adoptions Law, and it would not make sense to be able
to continue doing the adoption according to the old rules, if the children would be under the dispositions of the new law. Definitely, the misinterpretation by the CNA of article 57, is the source of the problem created by the CNA who is mistakenly trying to mix the registration of adoptions in process (article 56) established to
remove the notarial processes from the dispositions of the Adoptions Law, as well as the children being adopted in those processes, with Article 57 that establishes the registration of the different forms
of child care of children who are not being adopted in the notarial way, and who sadly for them, would fall under the so called protection of that legal nightmare called Adoptions Law.
In view of the impossibility of the CNA to register all adoptions in process within the next four days, we urge you to start calling friends, relatives and politicians, and especially those in the US DOS who pushed so hard to get this law passed and put into effect without any planning or preparation, to raise their awareness that
the CNA is defeating the grandfather clause, by conditioning the registration of the cases in process, to their misinterpretation of article 57 of the Adoption Law. Help us to get all adoptions registered with a sensible, logic system. That is all we ask.
