Protect the Children, March on Washington D.C., June 17th

The United States Department of State continues to look the other way while the Guatemalan government violates the human rights of adopted children of US citizens and continues to break their own laws. Most of these children have passports and US visas. However, the Guatemalan government feels the need to detain these children, most for over a year now. This is an extreme violation of these children’s human rights. While the bureaucracies battle it out, while everyone shirks from taking any responsibility the children suffer. Sure the kids get feed, lots of fresh air but they don’t get their families and that is what they need most. These children have been denied the right to the family that has legally adopted them. You may ask “why?” First, nobody really cares. I have seen that first hand in the US and Guatemalan governments. And the truth is that the Guatemalan government is angry at me for standing up to them. That isn’t done in Guatemala. When one does take on the system the price you pay is a big one.

This is a slideshow of some of our kids being held hostage by the Guatemalan government with no help or assistance from the US government. These children know their adoptive parents, think of how very sad it must be for them to be in limbo waiting to go home and more than likely feeling like their parents don’t want them home. Show some support. Check out the Guatemala900 information and help us get the kids home.
