You know no one has ever asked me that. I've had people ask what lead me to Guatemala, but never ask why we didn't adopt domestically.

I suppose if they did ask me that question I would answer like this, "We are adopting from Guatemala because in my heart I know my daughter is Guatemalan and will be waiting for me there."

Good luck. Remember your reasons for adoption are your own and you don't really "owe" anyone any type of explanation.
