Hi, everyone!

I am very new to this board. Please let me know any tips!

I am an adoptee, myself. I was adopted at 10 days old through Catholic Charities in Chicago. I have already found both b'parents. Finding my b'parents made me extremely grateful to have my adoptive parents!

Now, it is my turn to adopt. We are doing lots of paperwork right now, and it is terrifying me. We are trying to adopt through Guatemala. We want siblings.

I know that Open Adoption would be the very best choice for the adoptee just knowing what I went through. However, I don't think that is possible with adopting from another country. Anyone have experience or know someone who has had an Open Adoption internationally?

Best Wishes,
KD
