We work directly with several lawyers, a doctor, American missionaries and orphanages, with newborns, toddlers and older children available for adoption. Most of our cases are direct relinquishments by the birthmothers, but we also work with abandonment cases. Depending on the facilitator for your adoption, children will be living in foster homes, small group homes or larger orphanages. One of our programs has larger sibling groups and older children available and these children are always placed together. Please ask us about the special reduced fees for these larger sibling groups.
Referral is usually through a digital photo, with medical reports and blood results.
Birth history is sometimes available. Most of our children are in Guatemala City, but others live in areas further away from the city. The length of time from referral to homecoming varies greatly depending on the current situation in Guatemala and the court processes. Children are usually home between 4-6 months from the time time your documents arrive in Guatemala. It is important that you assemble your documents when you chose to adopt from Guatemala so that they will be ready when you accept a referral.
