Does a USB WiFi adapter exist that works with Guix and that is available? I know it is problematic with librelinux but maybe a solution exist.

I am also looking for one. In the meantime you could use nonguix, i.e., propietary firmware x guix. However I am searching for usb wifi adapter for guix, as you are. Possibly ath9k driven usb wifi dongles are the way to go (I hear).

I use an ar9271 based usb dongle for wifi that costs around 10 bucks. It should be that one Atheros AR9271 802.11n 150Mbps Wireless USB WiFi Adapter For Linux | eBay (even though I bought it elsewhere and not on eBay). Others than that wifi - h-node.org also lists some wifi usb dongles that work exclusively with free software.

I ordered one of this AR9271 USB WiFi Adapter. Looking forward to try it out. 
Thanks, will try this one out. Do you happen to know whether this works for guix and not just nonguix by any chance? 
It works with linux-libre/guix out of the box, using nonguix is not required. afaik most ryf/libre wifi dongles (this one Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter for GNU / Linux (TPE-N150USB) | ThinkPenguin.com for example or most that are known working on parabolas wiki WiFi devices known to work with Parabola GNU/Linux-libre - ParabolaWiki) Iām aware of use the AR9271 chipset and the blobfree ath9k kernel driver like the cheap one linked above do.
