For many years Guatemala was the most popular country for adoptions in this hemisphere. In 2007 around 5,000 children were adopted from there. Because of new United Nations requirement, no adoptions were begun in 2008. It is unknown if or when adoptions from Guatemala will resume.

Countries where adoptions may be done now are El Salvadore, Nicaragua, Panama, Columbia and Venezuela. Although not quite as easy as the Guatemalan adoptions were once, adoptions from these countries usually can be completed within a year

BIRTH MOTHER LOCATION SERVICES

As a result of the halting of international adoptions by the Guatemalan Government, I am now focusing on providing services for locating birth mothers. Because of my work with Somos Iguales, a 501c3 non-profit that I created, I have contacts and skills at locating birth mothers in even the most remote regions of Guatemala. With the growing popularity of open adoptions, there is always the opportunity for birth mother and child to have contact in the future from those who have previously adopted from Guatemala. This is a better way to allow contact with the birth mother without further stressing her fragile economic situation.
