It's a sad day

I am sad today. This afternoon John and I received an email from our adoption agency that they have officially closed their Guatemala program as a result of the State Department warning and the imminent shut down by President Berger.

I am just so sad for the families that have lovingly chosen adoption and the opportunity that is now lost to them. I am sad for the adoptive parents who have already given a piece of their heart to a child that they now call their own who may never come home. And most of all I am sad for the over 5,000 children in Guatemala that will languish in public institutions or on the streets with out a family to love them.
