Please take a moment to read this post and find a moment to write to UNICEF and help the children get home.  These children are being used as pawns in a political struggle and they are being victimized.  UNICEF is suppose to help children not damage them.  Thank you for caring.

Dear Ms. Veneman,

I am writing to you in support of the Guatemala 900 initiative to request timely due process and transparency for the children (some of whom are the legal children of US Citizens and possess US Visas) whose grandfathered adoption cases are still languishing in bureaucratic delay. We request your support and advocacy for the hundreds of children whose futures are at stake.

This being the 20th Anniversary of the Rights of the Child and the Holiday Season of Giving, it is imperative that UNICEF, as the world’s leader in child aid and advocacy, utilize its influence to protect these fragile lives and their right to a permanent loving family.  Your supporters are counting on it!

Sincerely,
