Received Official Referral and First Trip Travel Dates

Yay! We received our official referral paperwork and have been assigned our travel dates for our first trip to meet our daughter.  I'm not going to say exactly when it is here for purposes of privacy.

I would like to try to do some blogs while on the trip, so am debating on setting up the blog as password protected from here on out so that people who are interested can follow, but the entire world won't know our personal matters and location.

So please add a comment below if you would be interested in following this blog password protected from here on out.  If I don't hear from anyone, I will presume that just general information here is fine for everyone and will leave it open, but without daily updates, photos, etc.

So if you would be interested in following a detailed journey, password protected version of this blog, please let me know.

Thanks!

Please pray

There is some overturn in the Bulgarian government today.  Please pray that this will be a positive in Bulgaria for their economy.  Please also pray that this will not hinder the process of international adoption moving forward.  We are waiting to obtain the official referral of our girl and the invite to travel for the first trip to meet her.  This was tentatively scheduled for mid-March and we are praying that we will stay on schedule.

A quote from Star Trek: "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."  However, this is hard to say, when I am the one waiting.

This is the official word from our adoption agency:

Dear Families,

We wanted to make you all aware that the adoption processes in the Bulgarian program will not be affected by the resignation of the Bulgarian government.

Our in country partners, Vesta, have checked with the MOJ  and have been informed that this situation does not concern the international adoptions.

The IAC will continue to be held and will not be canceled during the election of the new government as the chair of the IAC will  not be changed.

We will let you know should any of this change.

Let us pray that this stays true, and nothing related to international adoptions is affected, except for the better.  It is all in God's hands (as always).
