The National Adoption Council said that the new rule will come into effect only to those people whose paperwork has been started in 2008 or later. Guatemala's Forensic Anthropology Institute will administer the tests. The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala has also expressed their willingness to conduct such tests on the children headed to American families.
Previously Guatemala was the first country after China in terms of child adoptions due to its quick child adoption process. Authorities have rightly suspended child adoption in the year 2007 after having some children stolen and also for having fake child adoption certificates. Women are being coerced to give up their children.
The Central American country reworked on child adoption laws in 2008 to reform the child adoption process. The ban on International Child adoption will be lifted in June 2010.

Actress Katherine Heigl and her musician husband Josh Kelley have adopted a baby girl from Korea last year: Naleigh Kelley.
Katherine has always wanted to adopt a child from Korea, since she has a Korean sister that her parents adopted as a baby. Katherine Heigl was quoted saying:
"We started talking about adoption even before we were engaged because it's really important to me, it's been a big part of my life and my family - my sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 70s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do."
Naleigh is now 17-months old and her mom wants another child as soon as possible. While Katherine wants a biological child, she said she is more than happy to adopt again.
Sources close to the actress said that she is a changed woman since becoming a mom.

I have friends and some colleagues who have chosen to adopt a child from adoption homes. They always say their child grew in their heart. Choosing to adopt a child is a mutual decision between you and your husband (or partner). If you think about the welfare of the many children around the world needing parents that will choose them, then your inability to produce a child of your own won't be so bad any longer.
People in the United States even adopt children from Asia. That's one good thing about adoption, the racial barrier is already broken. And I salute those people who choose to adopt. They are often better parents than those who can naturally have a child.

Sandra says she managed to pull it off with a lot of secret cars, sneaking around, and decoys. The work that she put into protecting her child adoption secret is pretty amazing. Sandra even had her step children from marriage with estranged husband Jesse James in on the secret child adoption.
How she managed to keep this hidden with all the controversy that has surrounded her recent breakup from Jesse James is anybody's guess. This impressive stunt really goes to show how much Sandra loves and cares for her new little boy.
Her son Louis was born in New Orleans. Sandra has her own home in New Orleans and this is where she plans to raise her little one. Louis was named after famous Jazz icon Louis Armstrong.

One popular place that Americans commonly partake in international child adoption is the country of Russia. Last year there were 1,800 adoptions of Russian children by American parents. However, one woman's unthinkable actions may lead to a halt in international child adoption through Russia for many.
The woman in question sent her 8-year-old adopted son back to Moscow alone on a plane last month when she suddenly decided she didn't want to be a parent anymore. This woman's actions have led to an international incident between the US and Russia.
Despite requests by Washington to not judge all American parents who are interested in child adoption by this one woman's terrible actions, Russian officials have froze many international adoptions that were in progress. The future is yet to be decided for these frozen child adoptions.
