Well our social worker should be done with our new homestudy today, but then it has to be notarized. So we wont have it until after our vacation! Once we get our new homestudy we will sent a copy to USCIS so we can get our I171H. This is the only document left that we need for our dossier (other than medicals for us).
We had to redo our homestudy because it said "Ukraine" and "18-24 mth old". We were told that no children were available under 18 mths in the Ukraine. In Bulgaria the children are put on the registry for 6 months and then can be adopted. Like Ukraine, the citizens are able to adopt the children first and most families want the young, healthy children. So we are asking for a 12-24 month old.
I have been researching Roma and Gypsy because 80% of the children in the orphanages are Roma the other 20% are Bulgarian. The Roma children are olive, brown hair and brown eyes. They are looked down upon in Eastern Europe and most of them are unemployed and living in ghetto's. So I am sure most of these children have living parents who love them but can't afford to take care of them. Terrible really! We are being told it could take 12 months AFTER we submit our dossier to receive a referrel, which means I am sure we will have to redo our dossier as it is only good for 12 months and we had a few things notarized in April/May. The fingerprints and I171H are good for 18 months. Please pray that as soon as USCIS get our new homestudy we will receive our I171H so we can get this going.
