We brought our son home at 10 months old and it was great! We had a long run in PGN and were discouraged because we thought we'd miss a lot of his 'firsts', but the Guatemalans tend to 'baby' their children, so my son wasn't even crawling yet. He was smiling right from the beginning when we picked him up.
Sleeping was difficult, but it was all a new experience for him. I suggest doing as much research on adopted children at the age you're bringing your child home at. My husband and I made sure that we were the only ones feeding, changing diapers and bathing our son for the first 2-3 weeks in order to bond with him, and it seemed to work out great. Also, I did research on getting babies to sleep through the night, and after about a month, our son was a great sleeper.
Hope this helps! If anyone wants any more info, feel free to PM me.
