We submitted our dossier this week! This is a huge milestone, as it means that most of the paperwork (that we have to do) is done, and now we wait for the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice to review it all and schedule our first trip.
It also means that our next payment will be what's called the official referral payment, which is $3,650 to our adoption agency here and €12,500 to the Bulgarian NGO that is overseeing the adoption in-country. We anticipate that this amount will be due within two months. This is by far the largest payment due, and we are applying for as many grants as we can in hopes that we will be approved for some and that the money will come in in time for this payment. Wish us luck! In the meantime, we are still working hard to save as much money as we can.
