adoption costs
As you probably know, Guatemala isn't even open right now and who know what costs might be like when (if?) it does. Guatemala's country fees are quite expensive - mine were $19,000 and I suspect they are even higher now.
My homestudy and agency registration were $2k total. The fee to apply with the DHS was $575 and fingerprints were $75. I didn't have much in the way of notary fees but you can pay as much as $20 for each notary stamp. you also have fees to certify each document with the state and the country's consulate.
I have no idea what other countries' fees are but that hopefully that will give you at least a ballpark. It's quite possible that other countries aren't that expensive but I am not aware of too many other South American countries that have programs. maybe Colombia or Brazil? As far as country fees go, Africa is much less expensive.
