You in no way should feel guilty because an orphan needs a home no matter where they come from. Dh and I were going to adopt from the Philippines since he is Filipino, but we were so impressed by the positives of the Ethiopian program that we are adopting from Ethiopia instead. It would have been easier culturally to have a Filipino child because we already know the culture. Sometimes the easiest is necessarily the best. We have enjoyed learning about Ethiopia. It is whatever is in your heart. Guatemalan orphans deserve a home just as much as Ethiopian orphans. If you are drawn to Guatemala, make sure it is still stable and go for it.
