February 8, 2008
On February 8, 2008, Guatemala’s National Council for Adoptions (CNA) announced that adoption cases "entered" in Guatemala
before Dec. 31, 2007 must be registered in the offices of the CNA, which are temporarily installed in the Secretary of Social
Welfare (Secretaria de Bienestar Social or SBS) of the Presidency, located at 32 Calle 9-34, Zona 11, Colonia Las Charcas,
by Tuesday, Feb. 12 (inclusive). The office will be open during the weekend from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The Government of Guatemala further advises that those notaries who presented their cases to the members of the earlier National
Council for Adoptions must bring their copy of the earlier registration to the office in the SBS during the above mentioned
hours, so that a new registration number can be assigned.
