Our adoption agency has sent our dossier copies to Bulgaria's MOJ. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the FedEx bill to overnight a ream of paper from California to Bulgaria. Today we got word from our adoption agency that we are officially registered with the MOJ in Bulgaria! YES! It has been a long journey so far, but well worth it. We are now officially listed a prospective parents and the MOJ will do their best to match us up with a child who meets our requirements. I have never mentioned it before, but we have requested a sibling group of two children (with at least one girl) and from the ages of 2 to 7. We have also requested them to be basically healthy (ha! this will be an issue later, stay tuned).
A little more about this process, you have to actually choose parameters of what you want. Will you accept special needs children? how many? boy or girl? what age? As a side note, in Bulgaria they don't offer any children under age 2, so infants are out of the question. All of this information is noted on your I-800A form, so you really can't deviate from it, which is fine, because Bulgaria will match you up with what you want. The more precise your request, the longer you will wait for a child.
Well, now the waiting begins. We are hunkering down for a long wait, hoping that our choices (sibling group) will speed up our chances of a referral.
