Well, it appears that the meeting scheduled today to present the "Protocol of Good Practice" has been postponed. Here is the link http://www.jcics.org/ (scroll to the bottom).

No one knows if it will be rescheduled or when it will be rescheduled. I have found out today that it does seem that President Berger is trying to go around the governmental branches with this proposal. This isn't 100% clear, but an article written in the local paper seems to say this.

Really though, we can only speculate what is going to happen. I do have a strong suspition that we have not heard the end of this. Guatemala claims they are trying to become Hague compliant, which is good, but I just wonder how many children are going to have to be displaced in the process. I also wonder how many bogus protocols this anti-adoption president is going to put in place under the guise of becoming Hague Compliant.
