This is the most amazing video about what has happened to adoptions in Guatemala and the hand that UNICEF played.  Take a few minutes to see this video.  It is sad and heartbreaking but tells the truth.

Happy Halloween!!!

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Despite UNICEF’s desire to keep children poor and suffering, shutting down adoptions in Guatemala and many other countries and keeping adopted children from their parents we aren’t going to let them bully our kids. Sixteen of our 32 children have adoptive families and should have been home with their families trick or treating but UNICEF made sure that did not happen. So, thank you to all of our donors, all of our kids had a wonderful Halloween party. We also celebrated our October birthdays. ¡Feliz Cumpleaños Luvia, Jeferson, Gaby and Victor Hugo!

After Halloween 2009 we asked families, who were not going to use their costumes again, to donate them to Semillas de Amor. We had some great donations as you can see by our well dressed kids. We hope to have another costume drive this year as well. Thank you to everyone who donated costumes last year.

Happy Halloween from Semillas de Amor and to UNICEF you have played a really mean trick on way too many children, SHAME ON YOU!
