However, these children are in foster care, they receive medical care, are fed well, and are loved and cuddled by their foster family while waiting for you to process your paperwork. The time frame for an adoption from Guatemala is around six months from the time you turn your dossier in until you have your child in your home. This country is an absolutely wonderful country to adopt from. The children are absolutely beautiful and come in a variety of ethnic backgrounds. We have pictures of these children on our website and all of them are just waiting for someone to step up and be their mom and dad.
Many people say the time that has to be spent in the country is prohibitive.
However, I have spoken with several parents who told me that they would rather go to Kazakhstan than anywhere. The referral time is incredibly fast, and even though the stay in the country for one of the parents is 30 days, you can have your child with you during most of that time, it is a great time to bond with your child with no distractions, and the entire adoption is so fast that it is worth the long stay. After you turn in your dossier, you can travel to the country in about six weeks to get your child. You can choose a child from a picture on our website , we provide medical reports, videos when possible, and the process is fast and the children are beautiful. It truly is a great country.
