Hi Alex, as you can tell this is not a very busy forum - mostly because there's not a lot to share right now. Bulgaria adoptions are moving - but slowly. The issue is there are not actually very many healthy children available for adoption from Bulgaria. While there are many children in the orphanages most are either 1) severaly disabled, 2)have contact with their family members, 3)have no contact with their families but have not been released by their families for adoption, or 4) have undocumented origins (meaning they have no birth certificates or other documentation to prove they're Bulgarian citizens - which makes them unavailable for adoption). A proposed revision to the Family Code has been drafted and if approved by the Bulgarian Parliament could allow more of these children (numbers 3 & 4 above) to be adopted. And that's about all I know.
