Hello all! It's great to see this forum! I am just starting the process of adopting from Guatemala, and see that I am in good company--how nice to know! I am currently seeking a good agency to do my homestudy. I understand time is of the essence, so an agency that has been fast would be nice. More importantly, though, I take meds for anxiety and depression and am hoping to find a social worker who gets that this is nothing to get all worked up about. . . If anyone has any recommendations, thoughts, etc, I'd greatly appreciate a PM!

Hi all,
My name is Kim and my husband is Steve. We just started this process on 2/23. So we are really newbies
we live in Florissant. We are in the process of adopting a little boy from Guatemala. It is really nice to see so many families adopting from the same place, maybe we can use each others shoulders to lean on

Hey I just found this local thread. I am just a little slow : )
My name is Leah. Hubby is Mike.
Two bio sons, Slade (10), and Seth (7)
Guat Princess Eden (2) came home at 6 mos. old!
We live in O'fallon. I recently completed the Recognition of Foreign Adoption and I filed it all without an attorney. PM me or email me if you'd like to know how.
I think we should plan a St. Louis Play date really soon! I want Eden to meet her Guat friends!

Hi there,
There is a Guatemalan picnic coming up on Sept 15th at Vago Park in Maryland Heights starting around noon. Hope you can make it. Besides that, I am sure that we can have another playdate at a park before that, when it COOLS OFF A BIT!!!
There is a group going to Tan Tar A in the Ozarks Aug 24-26th, organized by Cindy on this forum (screen name Waiting for Celeste)
Let me know if you want details. It would be fun to meet some forum friends face to face.
We have a two yr old son from Guat.

Smile Hello All!!
Hi! My name is Krista! My husband and I are considering international adoption. We are looking into Russia, Kyrgyzstan, or Kazakhstan. We live a little south of St. Louis. Anyone have any recommendations on countries or agencies near here? Thanks!!
