Why Guatemala?

I was just reading a post on Adoption Memoirs wherein Amber says she has been asked the question, "Why don't you adopt domestically and not internationally?" It's a common question. My answer, "I chose to adopt internationally because my son was in Guatemala." It seems like a quick and easy answer. It's not. An ancient Chinese proverb illustrates the belief behind my answer. "An invisible red thread connects us to those we are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." There was only one child in all of the world my husband and I were meant to adopt in the winter of 2007. He was in Guatemala City. "But.." you say. But nothing.
