"Attorney General Baudilio Portillo suspended all of Guatemala's 2,286 pending adoption cases in early May to investigate them.

The 15 annulled cases represent nearly 10 percent of the 160 cases that have been reviewed thus far.

Another 2,126 must still be investigated.

The 145 cases that were not annulled were allowed to move forward."

"The babies whose cases have been annulled will be put in foster homes until a judge locates their parents. If their parents aren't found, they will be put up for adoption again."
