URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!!!

Here is a new update that we got from our agency today:


Dear Guatemala Families,
I'm writing to ask all of you, if you haven't already, to contact your local and federal congressmen for help. I spoke with one of my facilitators today who informed me that the birth mother interviews are horrible. He confirmed that the officials at PGN are putting a lot of pressure on the birth mothers to change their mind regarding the adoption. Most birth mothers are holding up under the pressure, but some have asked for their children back. (None of ours at this time.) When Guatemala promised all of us that your cases would be grandfathered in under the old system, the old system did not include birth mother interrogations by PGN. I know this is alarming news, and I don't want to scare anyone needlessly. However, I also want to make sure that you all are advocating for yourselves. I'm still believing that God is going to see us through this situation. Please continue to pray and ask for guidance. I'm being told that once the interviews are completed, PGN will not be releasing cases quickly as previously stated. This may just be rumor but PGN must be stopped!! They are violating the birth mothers civil rights and also putting adoptions in jeopardy. Please pray for these birth mothers. They have made a difficult choice for their child to have a better life, but in some cases are being told that they are no better than dogs for placing their child for adoption! I have spoken with all 3 of our facilitators this week. I am told by one facilitator that all of her interviews so far have gone well with no issues. The other 2 facilitators have not had any birth mother interviews yet. They will begin next week. I'll keep you posted as I hear about any specific birth mother interviews for your birth mothers having been completed.

Friends,

I am begging for y'all to be praying!! This is such hard news to hear. I can't imagine what those families are feeling tonight that lost their children because of these interviews. Be praying for their hearts!!! PRAY FOR A MIRACLE.....that someone would step in and DO SOMETHING!!!! This is not right. When Chris and I get back to Nashville, we are going to create a letter that all of you can send to gov't officials. WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We can't do this alone. Thank you for your constant support and love.

Love you all,
Lindsey

P.S. I can't wait to post pictures of our time in Colorado. It is AMAZING here!
