This is our first post to our adoption blog, even though we have been in the adoption process for 23 (yes 23) months now! To recap, we are adopting a child under age 2 at the time of referral, from Bulgaria. Our dossier was officially accepted by the Bulgarian government on March 13, 2009. At the time we were told to expect 18 months until we receive a referral of a child. Currently we have been waiting 9 months.
Once we receive a referral (we will get one picture and one page of medical information), we will travel to Bulgaria for approximately 7-10 days to meet our child and officially accept him or her. We will then come back to the US for 2-4 months. The court proceedings will happen in Bulgarian during this time. Once everything is finished, we will take our 2nd trip to Bulgaria to pick up our child and bring him/her home. The second trip should be about a week - time to get a passport, visit the US Embassy and a couple other official things.
We will try hard to update as we have any news!!!
