Hi
Adoption Supervisors helps those whose cases have already started in Guatemala and where they are being lied to by their agency or their agency/lawyer seems very slow, people in PGN for months on end etc..
If you are having problems with your homestudy agency losing documents, that is certainly not a good thing! We had to send all of our doc's to D.C. ourselves..in fact I went there in person several times. Otherwise..it took 6 weeks for them to authenticate our documents back in 03 and I went in person in 04 and it was done in 2 weeks (had to drop off and pick up in person).
The 2 lawyers that make up AS live in Guatemala. If your POA is done, and your dossier is in Guatemala, I am confused because normally it is sent to the Guatemalan Consulate etc..before it goes to Guatemala..I managed to get DNA without a POA (dont' know how that was done) but my dossier had been there for months up until that point..we were told our POA was sent the end of June and it wasnt for 5 more months..

Anyways..I am guessing your homestudy agency and Guatemalan adoption agency are one in the same?
I think its a bit early to hire but others can chime in here..your dossier needs to be authenticated? And then sent back to Guatemala, translated and such....hope you get DNA soon..Is it an agency policy that you can't visit before DNA? I visited before DNA and in fact was supposed to foster the entire time right from newborn on (then the Hague happened which we were never told about)..most don't rec. visiting before DNA mainly because if the mother is going to change her mind thats when it usually happens..
