Bulgaria Updates
These country updates bring you the most current and up-to-date information from our program coordinators. One way of keeping you informed of what is going on in the country.

December 2009

In November court was successfully completed for our first family to adopt from Bulgaria, we anticipate that this family will travel to complete their adoption later this month. We look forward to what is anticipated to be a busy 2010 in Bulgaria as new staff has adjusted to their positions and new laws are in place. We are currently accepting applications from families hoping to adopt children 7 years and older and/or children with moderate to severe Special Needs. If you have any questions, please contact Allie Weldon.

November 2009

October was an exciting month in Sofia as the new Intercountry Adoption Council held its first (and subsequent) meetings! The foreign organization that we work with, Happy Child is currently going through the process of reaccreditation. Over the past twelve months, more and more families have decided to pursue a Bulgarian adoption, thus the wait to be matched with a younger child is increasing. We are currently accepting applications from families hoping to adopt children 7 years and older and/or children with moderate to severe Special Needs. If you have any questions, please contact Allie Weldon.
