The U.S. Embassy Cables: Adoption Fraud in Guatemala, 1987-2010 is a collection of internal memos, email, and cables from the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala, obtained as a result of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed between November 30, 2008 and 2010, asking for documents related to fraud in Guatemalan adoptions. Until now, they have never been released. This collection of U.S. government documents is an authoritative research tool for those interested in international adoption corruption and reform, including policymakers, advocacy groups, investigators, and prosecutors.
