When adoptions closed in September of 2007, Bethany as well as many other agencies had cases that were pending. There are about 900 Guatemala adoptions among US agencies pending completion.
Bethany has three cases being completed. All have been approved and one of these families has traveled this week to bring their child home. We celebrate these adoptions and are grateful to the families who have worked with us and been faithful to their children during the difficult and long process. We are also grateful to our Guatemala team and the all the work they have done over the years for the children in need of homes.
Bruce Mossburg traveled to Guatemala in July to explore the possibility of expanding our work to provide child protection services for the many orphans and children at risk in Guatemala. According to UNICEF children make up more than 50% of Guatemala’s population. About 3.7 million children live in poverty and in rural areas about 80% of Guatemala’s children live in poverty and nearly 50% of the Guatemala’s children suffer from chronic malnutrition. Please keep Guatemala, its children, and the various ministries working in Guatemala in your prayers.
