Bucket List Trips: New Year's Eve in Antigua

Ties trips are designed exclusively for adoptees and those who love them. This trip is open to adoptive families of all forms and from all countries. This trip does not provide the same level of support as our summer Heritage Journeys and, therefore, is not generally recommended for Guatemalan adoptees who are returning to Guatemala for the first time. That being said, you know the adoptee in your family best, please reach out to our staff to discuss if this trip is a good fit for your family.
