It seems hard to believe, but today we have been registered and officially waiting for a referral from Bulgaria for one year!
Good News: We did speak with our adoption agency last week and they are still saying 18 months for a referral. The MOJ has been meeting weekly and referring approximately 10 children per session. The children that were identified in January should be on the international adoption registry shortly - approximately 4500 children.
Bad News: We know of at least one other person who has been registered for 24 months and does not have a referral yet. She also requested a child up to 24 months old at the time of referral.
We continue to wait and still hope that we will have a referral by 18 months. 18 months of waiting (going by week numbers) will be exactly our wedding anniversary date of September 20th, so maybe 18 months is what is meant to be.
