Goodbye Orphanage!
Bulgarian Traditional Adoption
We invite you to see pictures from our family’s trips to Bulgaria as they completed their “Traditional Bulgarian Adoption”. We absolutely love the video of them walking out of the orphanage together!
Your first trip to Bulgaria is about 5 – 7 days. You’ll meet your children at the orphanage and hang out with them a few hours each day. On the last day, you’ll give your consent for the adoption to move through the Bulgarian court system.
On your second trip, the very first think you’d do is to get get your kids. You’ll walk out of the orphanage with them and go to Sofia (the capital) for the remaining 5 – 7 days.
