In case you have not heard, the EU is putting pressure on both Bulgaria and Romania to open up their adoptions. Also, in Bulgaria the plight of the orphans is gaining national attention. Following is a summary from a Bulgarian friend of mine of a TV program in Bulgaria. So, there is hope things will start to move along soon. If I hear anymore, I will pass it on.

Hi Kay and Everyone,
The attorney that handled our adoption was in the states this past week and she said the same. She thinks things will begin moving very soon due to the pressure of the EU. They have already started posting available children that are registered that are special needs but she thinks that shortly healthy children will be added to the list. In the mean time if anyone would be interested in learning more about the special needs children available - you can email me at cooldrop@mebtel.net
Let's hope this is all promising news for Bulgaria. It is a beautiful country with beautiful children!!!
God Bless,
Jan
