  A paradigm describing black hole evaporation in non-perturbative quantum
gravity is developed by combining two sets of detailed results: i) resolution
of the Schwarzschild singularity using quantum geometry methods; and ii)
time-evolution of black holes in the trapping and dynamical horizon frameworks.
Quantum geometry effects introduce a major modification in the traditional
space-time diagram of black hole evaporation, providing a possible mechanism
for recovery of information that is classically lost in the process of black
hole formation. The paradigm is developed directly in the Lorentzian regime and
necessary conditions for its viability are discussed. If these conditions are
met, much of the tension between expectations based on space-time geometry and
structure of quantum theory would be resolved.
