Dear patiently waiting families,
We have received a referral of a medically challenged little boy and will be traveling next week to meet him.
Our initial approval was for two children and we brought our one son home in September than waited after turning down another child we waitied for 10 months and received this referal which we accepted. Of course we have had to update paperwork a few times..having nitially started in February of 2003...but we are very excited and pleased that some progress is being made to get these kids home!!

I am so happy for you. You have been waiting for so long. I hope your visit goes well and I will be interested in hearing all about your story when you get back.

Best of luck,

Congratulations Vicky! It is so wonderful to hear of a referral coming out of Bulgaria. Can I ask if your child has severe special needs or mild needs? I am curious as to what the Ministry is referring at this time.

Hi again,
He has significant special needs. We did specify we would accept that in our homestudy update .Of course he is only 2 and we are confident that good medical and a loving family of faith will see enormous progress in him.
I will continue to pray for all of you that wait and I know(believe me I know firsthand) how difficult that wait can be....sad times...times you second guess everything....times of frustration....times of wondering why...
But eventually it does come together and you do get the child that was truly meant for your family

This is such wonderful news Vicki. I wish you all the best. Please email me privately with details as I would be interested in getting that second referral if possible before my papers run out as well and just don't know how to go about it.


Congrats again.

Just to give some positive news to the Bulgaria adopting group. There has been a referral of a nonspecial needs child to an american family that has been registered in Dec 2003 or Jan 2004. He is 3 years old and they are already visiting. Hope this means that some of these children will be moving soon. They were all so precious in my sons group that I would have taken any single child had they been offer...........no questions asked.
