What ages are the children who are available from Guatemala?
At the time of referral, children are between the ages of one month and 6 months. Children between the ages 6 to 12 months are occasionally available. Children older than 12 months are not available as often and you should be prepared for a longer wait for a referral if you would like to adopt a child toddler age or older at the time of referral. The adoption process currently takes 6-10 months from the time you receive the referral. You should plan on your child being approximately 6-10 months older than his or her age at referral when he/she comes home. Please understand that if unusual delays or circumstances occur during your adoption, your child could be even older when they come home.
