All,
We started our adoption in March of 2003 and are currently (dec 4th, 2003) still waiting on a signature in the MOJ. We are told that they are just starting to begin giving approvals again and have even heard of a few families that have recently gained approvals from the MOJ in Dec this year. Is there anyone out there that is also awaiting a signature in the MOJ or has anyone gotten a signature in the MOJ lately? We have been told that NO signatures had been given in the past 2 months by our Bulgarian lawyer.
I would really like to make contact with anyone waiting that has everything submitted to the MOJ and is waiting approval, or that has recently gained approval. We are told the MOJ hasn't been signing due to the new laws and the fact that the US hasn't ratified the Hague Convention.

Is there a place that we could read your agency's newsletter? Could you let us know when you get approval? Free feel to email me at scotth@olp.net. I'm curious also what attorney your agency works with. I'll let you know ours if your will email me.
We traveled last February to meet our child. Let's see we were held up by the Hague but now have the MOJ's signature. We were told by our attorney that people w/o b/ signatures now will have to have there child on a national registry for 6 months. Now, don't get too freaked out, just ask your caseworker to talk to your attorney about it......your most likely far enough along that it will not apply to you.
Uhhh....since we just got the MOJ signature they are telling us that we should expect our son home in January or February. I'll believe it when I see it at this point.
Anyway, I hope you get good news soon!
We are. We started our procedure in March of last year and still do not have a MOJ signature. We are under the old laws.....
We should have gained a signature this past week but the MOJ at the last minute asked for a letter that literrally seems to have arrived one day late preventing us from getting a signature.
Does anyone know if the MOJ will meet again in Dec? If anyone gets a signature this month please let us know. We know the MOJ signed the first week of December, and several families gained approval, but if anyone hears of any additional signing please let us know. We are hoping and praying that maybe the MOJ will meet again the week of Dec 15th since they are suppose to meet twice a month.
