Google Judy Oltrogge and "My Name is Ana Maria". A website that offers doll clothes and children's books and other crafts offers it. It's a neat little paperback book (fiction, but very factual) that tells about what living in Guatemala is like, written for adopted children. The pictures are black and white illustrations, but the information is really great. It even mentions Pollo Campero. There's a neat note by the author in the front for children. She even suggests that children can color the pictures, but I won't be letting mine do that. I have one for each of my kids for the future, as it's a book that really explains in nice detail what family life is like in Guatemala. The neat thing is that proceeds go to the orphanage she helped found.

This book isn't really about adoption, so I'm not answering the OPs original question, but I wanted to recommend this nice little book.
