Receiving a Referral
Adoption Procedure
B. RECEIVING A REFERRAL (PROPOSAL) FOR A CHILD
After applicants have been entered into the above-mentioned register, a referral for a child with a profile within applicants’ range of acceptance can be expected.
The referral is made by the International Adoption Council at the Ministry of Justice, after taking into consideration the position of the applicants in the register and the profile of the child they wish to adopt.
It is difficult to specify a time frame to receive a referral - it depends on the age of the child, his/her health condition, etc. It is important to know that Bulgarian law does not specify any time frames for a referral. Such time frame is indicated only for the children already enterred in the register of the Ministry of Justice, i.e. the Intercountry Adoption Council shall find a suitable adoptive parent within 2 months after child's registration, taking into consideration applicant's position in the register, the profile of the child he/she wants to adopt, as well as other aspects of importance for the Intercountry Adoption Council.

In the spring of 2012 we received the greatest news of all – we were about to become parents of a little girl from Bulgaria. She had a difficult start in life and she was placed in a baby home in Sofia where she was waiting for her mum and dad to take her home. We received a picture where we saw a tiny little girl with brown curly hair and enormous brown eyes. She was so cute, so beautiful! Later it turned out that we both felt one and the same feeling simultaneously – yes, this is her, our daughter, and no one else!
