Does anyone adopting from Guatemala live in CA?
I was just wondering if any of you are from California? (Bay area?) I'm curious to know what stage of the process you are in, if it is going smoothly, and what agency you used.

I'm from Riverbank which is in the Central Valley, close to Modesto. We're still trying to decide on a placement & HS agency. It's so exciting to follow your stories as they progress. I would love to know which agencies you have used & how satisfied you are too...please PM me with any recommendations (good or bad).
Elva p.s. Marie...hope all is going great with your visit.
