EthiopiaEach country has its own post-placement requirements. The following are the specific requirements of Guatemala as of this date.
Due to implementation of the Hague Treaty in Guatemala, Post-adoption report requirements will be changing. Once this has been defined by the Guatemalan Central Authority, FTIA will post the new requirements. Following are the requirements under the Notorial adoption system.
FTIA requires two post-placement supervisory reports by the home study agency that prepared the original home study at six months and twelve months after returning home. If you have moved, we can identify another home study agency to perform this report. At the top of your post-placement reports, please put your child's Guatemalan name.
These post-placement reports address your child(ren)'s bonding with the family, physical health development, social development, educational development and plans, and extended family relationships. Your home study agency should be familiar with these requirements and if not, we will work with your agency at the appropriate time.
Additionally, some home study agencies or states may have additional post-placement requirements. Please check with your home study agency to determine if there are any additional requirements. If any additional post-placement reports are required by your home study agency or state, we require that you provide us a copy.
Each post-placement report prepared by a home study agency, or report prepared by a parent, should include at least two photographs of your child. All original post-placement reports should be submitted to FTIA for submission to the foreign adoption officials.
