I am in Poland right now adopting a child in a wheelchair. It has been difficult. In one hotel we had to carry our son up two flights of stairs. While it is true there are bigger cities, your child may not be in one. I am now in an apartment in Warsaw, and while it has an elevator (good thing, we are on the 8th floor!) many buildings do not. To go to sign a paper we had to sign at the notary we had to go up two flights of stairs. We had to leave the wheelchair and carry my son, the steps were very steep and it would have been very difficult to carry the chair up. Court was on the third floor of a building with no elevators. There are very few curb cuts so when we have to go out to get food we have to go over the curbs. A foldable ramp would be hard to travel with on a plane and would not have worked on the very steep steps we had to deal with. Guatamala is shorter trip so perhaps it would be more do-able, there are also still a few countries who will escort or let one parent travel.
