Registration Update

Okay. Well, it's been a month since I last posted, so here it is.

We still have not been officially registered in Bulgaria yet! What once was thought it would take up to 6 weeks to translate our dossier has turned into a much longer process. I spoke with our adoption agency and was told that the translators only work 2-3 days/week and not necessarily 8 hours/day. With the influx of new applications rolling into Bulgaria they are back logged! I can't be upset with our agency, because it's out of their control. I can't be upset with the Bulgarian government, because what would that do? So, all we can do is just sit and wait and hope it's coming sometime soon. The good news is that they have not requested any additional paperwork from us (yet) as our dossier is in the review stage prior to registration.

We are keeping in mind that although this process is much harder than we originally thought it would be and not taking off a quickly as we originally hoped, that we still have a child out there somewhere for us. We are keeping the faith that all of this will fall into place when the time is right not only for us, but for our future child as well.
