Guatemala: Adoption Service Provider Under Investigation

The Office of Children’s Issues has learned from official sources of the arrest of American adoption service facilitator Mary Bridget Bonn in

Florida

.  It is our understanding that Ms. Bonn is charged with facilitating the illegal entry of Guatemalan children to the

United States

As this case is an ongoing law enforcement matter, the Department is unable to provide any further information.  However, in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala , we are following this case very closely and cooperating with the investigating agencies.

Please monitor our website at: http://web.archive.org/web/20070216200058/http://travel.state.gov/family/family_1732.html under “Intercountry Adoption News” for any changes or updates related to Guatemalan adoption policy.
