Guatemala is currently CLOSED to intercountry adoptions.

CCAI GENERAL OVERVIEW OF GUATEMALAN ADOPTION

The Guatemalan National Council on Adoption (CNA) announced in September 2008 that CNA will not accept any new adoption cases at this time. The halt is to enable CNA to work on establishing guidelines to use in accrediting adoption agencies and to focus on completing transition cases. More information about CNA’s decision may be found on its website, http://www.cna.gob.gt.
