Dear readers,
I recently had an offer to sell the site which most of you would know I would decline (OK...if it was really big amount, I would probably sell it and start an orphange program ;-). Through the discussion, I realized that there was a misconception that Guatadopt.com was created to be a profit venture. I was amused since to date, we have never cleared more money than we have spent on the site (monthly). That hasn't been the point! But from time to time, we like to post a reminder :-)
If you are new to the site....I encourage you to read a couple of things about the site:
About Us - which is the concept of the site
AboutYour Hosts- which is available on most of our pages and tells you a little about the authors
Most of the services we provide are free but the site expenses are not. In fact, we spend quite a bit of time answering questions, maintaining the site and helping who we can. For that reason, we RECENTLY opened up to the idea of donations. Donations are used exclusively to expand the site, pay maintenance and to develop more services. If you would like to contribute, please either email us for information or see our DONATION page. We appreciate donations from parents, agencies, organizations, etc...)

Thanks for the update. In case anyone out there wonders:
It takes only a few minutes to setup a PayPal account. We made a donation a few months ago and it cleared with no issues or concerns. Our donation was small - only $20 - but having been in this situation before - every little bit helps.
Thank you Kelly and Kevin and everyone helping to keep this site alive and moving. I have checked for updates every day since we started out adoption in January. We hope to travel within the next few weeks to pickup our child. The encouragement, information and support from this site has been wonderful.
