The Guatemala Adoptive Family Association of West Virginia (GAFA of WV) consists of families who have adopted or are in the process of adopting a child from Guatemala.

Founded in January 2003, its member families recognize the importance of a support group enabling their children to see other families like theirs who also endeavor to make their children proud of their heritage.

GAFA of WV sponsors social events, a newsletter, adoption mentors for families in the adoption process, networking and support, educational and charitable giving opportunities for families throughout the state, and other resources through its yahoo-group site. It is a state-wide association whose "activities" are based out of Charleston, West Virginia but whose network extends throughout the state bringing Guatemala adoptive families closer together.
