OK I'm stumped and really don't have much to offer that is solid information. I do have a contact that can answer your questions and may even give you the hook ups if you land in Guatemala. I will PM the info.
I suggest reaching out to other international adoption forums such as China and Russia, where members are active. The basics of what you are asking, how to adopt as US citizen while living abroad, can be answered by anyone who has done this regardless of country. I'm sure there are *particulars* that will vary in the process depending on the country program you select, but alot of it would apply.
When you discover answers to your questions it would be great if you would post an update. It would be archived to help future families in researching their adoption options. Speaking of which,.....have you searched the forum archives? I know I have read another inquiry to this or similar situation and of the life of me can't remember to which forum it was posted. I may just have to investigate if you don't get information replies to this post.
Good luck to you and I wish that I could be of more help. I did receive your PM by the way. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you become lost, need support etc. Best wishes and >>>HUG<<<.
