Travel Requirements for a Bulgarian Adoption
Two separate trips are required to Bulgaria and are approximately seven days in length for each trip.
The first trip is for adoptive parents to meet the prospective adopted child. This will take place early in the adoption process and allows the adoptive parents to meet the prospective adoptable child, the orphanage staff, the officials, our partner agency, and to sign papers for legal initiation of their case.
The second trip is to actually take custody of the adopted child and is scheduled approximately 3-5 months after the completion of the first trip. This trip is approximatley seven to nine days in length.
Although exceptions can be made in order for just one parent to travel on either trip, IAN highly recommends both parents make at least the first trip.
