One of the most amazing aspects of Guatemalan adoption is the connection you can make with other families who are going through, or who have completed, the same process.

Here are some of the popular online and in-person support and discussion groups for parents...

Adopting in Guatemala List
The Adopting in Guatemala Support Listserv is my own welcoming, non-discriminatory support group for people who are interested in, involved in, or have completed adoptions of children in Guatemala. This is an open discussion group, where members should feel free to discuss their concerns and interests. Free and open discussion, with no discrimination. Join now by sending an email to: adoptinginguatemala-subscribe@yahoogroups.com or sign up online.

Guatemala-Adopt List / The "BigList
The Guatemala-Adopt List also known as the "Biglist" (and sometimes referred to as the "St. John's list", because it used to be hosted on their servers) is the largest list on Guatemalan adoption. With several thousand members, this is a heavily-trafficked list, and it permits open negative or positive discussion about agencies, attorneys or facilitators. This list also talks about Guatemala politics and culture, international adoption policies, and post-adoption life raising a child of Guatemalan origin. The Guatemala-Adopt list also maintains years of detailed archives, featuring every post. This is a WEALTH of information on agencies, attorneys and facilitators. You need to login to get a free password to review the archives. Soul of Adoption Forums
A supportive place to find parents willing to share their experiences is the Soul of Adoption Guatemala forum. Soul of Adoption also has forums for every aspect of the adoption triad -- birth parents, adoptees, and adoptive parents, diverse support forums for different denominations, and open support for gay, lesbian and single parents.

Guatemala Adoption List
The Guatemala Adoption list at Yahoo Groups is a list focused on Guatemalan adoption. This list does NOT permit open negative discussion about agencies, attorneys or facilitators.

WARNING/NOTE RE: Adoption.com's forum
Adoption.com has forums, but do note that the site is restrictive, has very heavy-handed rules and moderators, and your posts and private correspondence may be read, deleted, or intercepted by site moderators. Be advised that if it may be of concern to you, the site discriminates against single, gay and lesbian parents, and the site's policies reflect the owner's very conservative religious views.
