We learned today that our dossier was submitted! So my first question when I heard that was "What does that mean?!" I know Ukraine back and forth but I had no idea what that meant for Bulgaria. Well, the next step is the verbal referral. Verbal referrals are always issued on Tuesdays. We will probably hear tomorrow if can get our referral this Tuesday or if we will have to wait for next Tuesday. After the verbal referral it will take about 3 weeks for the Minister to sign off on it and then we travel! Something a bit different about Bulgaria compared to Ukraine is that we have flexibility in our travel. In Ukraine you are given a date for your SDA appointment and that is when you travel...no matter what. In Bulgaria they will give us some options for travel and will work with us to find a good week for us to travel.
In other adoption related news, we met the $4000 match for our grant one whole month early! Our first trip is now funded and we are only about $3000 or so from being fully funded! Now let's go get that girl!

I have a friend/former coworker who is from Bulgaria. She's always told me it's such a beautiful place.
