I hope this is for real!

Taken right from Kevin (at guatadopt, on the above-linked post):

Guatemalan papers are reporting that committees of Congress met yesterday on the adoption law. This was NOT the vote on the ammendments. But based on these reports, Guatemala will postpone implementing the Hague until April 1, 2008 in order to better coincide with the US's likely ratification date. Interestingly, one paper quotes US Consul General John Lowell as saying this is unnecessary.

In addition, one paper is reporting that the Ortega Law's effective date will be bumped back to April 1 as well. One story also mentions that one ammendment to be voted on is to permit singles to adopt.

(But I don't think we're changing our minds to include this new possibility. Unfortunately, because I do love all that Guatemala has to offer, in terms of travel and culture and everything I've spent over two years researching and collecting and incorporating into my being. Weird that this came out on the same day as my "Making Plans" post, huh?)
