We're in the Milwaukee...Wauwatosa to be specific. We brought our daughter home last March from Guatemala and are in the process of another adoption. Our little boy is currently 3 1/2 months old. We just entered PGN the beginning of February...hoping, hoping, hoping to bring him home in April.
We would love to meet other families in the area! Julie

I am in Jackson and have two awesome boys from Guatemala - 4 and now 20 months.
I am the President of LAAF and hope that all families that are adopting from Latin American can join our group. I would also be interested in starting a general adoption group for all families!

We're in Milwaukee as well, my son Matthew just turned 2 (from Guatemala), and we're in the process of adopting our daughter from there (she's 4 months old, we're still trying to get DNA done).
Julie - where in Tosa are you? ~Tricia
