My adoption endeavors began several years ago. Being a single male,
and living in Europe, I knew I faced unique challenges. Several attempts
failed, but with the help of the EAC Guatemala team, I persevered.When I received my referral, I thought he was too good to be true. In less than five months, however, the photo became a reality and I was on my way to Guatemala to pick up my son.
When I got there, I was amazed at EAC’s efficiency and organization. I was met at the airport, driven to the hotel and the next day (after a sleepless night) I met my son, Miguel. He was only five months old. All of the children were beautiful beyond words. Miguel was healthy, well-adjusted and happy, as were the other children. His foster mother did an amazing job during his first few months of life.

ran like clockwork. These people knew how things worked. We had time for some
sightseeing, but mostly our time was spent getting to know our children. I can’t say

It was a hard road, but with the help of EAC, I have been able to attain the most amazing experience I’ve ever imagined.
