Our I800A extended approval came today! We are now approved to adopt by the US government through March 28, 2011. 15 more months...we are praying we are done well before that. The first extension request is free, but the second one is not.
We asked our agency today on the status of the referral meetings was (these are the official meetings where representatives from the Ministry of Justice in Bulgaria meet to referral available children to waiting adoptive parents). Nothing official but it looks like the last meeting was December 18, 2009. Under the new laws the committee is supposed to be meeting weekly (at least 3 times a month), but it looks like they may not be fully back to that schedule from the holidays. Also no news on the official number of children that are on the registry available for adoption, our Bulgarian team was meeting with the MOJ before the holidays to find out this exact number.
So we are approved again, and waiting!
