Gil couldn’t find Guatemala on a map when committing to the adoption of his daughter. He didn’t know anything about starting an international adoption. He didn’t know anyone who had adopted internationally.

This is the first American dad’s memoir of following his call to adopt a daughter from Guatemala.
