Children of all ages are available-- just be sure to pick an agency that works with older (2yrs+) children if that is your age range. Our agency works with birthmother relinguishments only, mostly infants. Two families on our visit trip wanted older children and had to settle on infants as they were told "older kids aren't available"-- not true, just need to work with a different agency.

Adoptions from Guat are not inexpensive. Ours was fairly routine and tipped the $30k mark-- do an internet search and you will discover that agency fees, country fees, homestudy, etc, etc easily add up to that. The one thing to remember when comparing cost is that travel is significantly less to Guat than many of the other countries.

Best wishes! Feel free to PM me if you want to hear specifically about our experience/agency.
