Stage 2 - CHECK!

Great news. Our Article 5 was issued by the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria last week and it was officially delivered to the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice on Monday (May 2). Again, something that took much less time than expected. These were kind of anomalies from what we understand so we are trying not to get our hopes up that this expediency will continue...but lets pray it does anyway ;) !! Bulgaria has had a long road of revamping their system over the last few years so the process wasn't entirely smooth in the beginning. But from what we can tell by the way our case has been handled so far, they are really improving things and finding ways to speed up the process for the well-being of the children in their care. They deserve a lot of credit for this.
