[FONT=Verdana]Hi all, I plan to switch my I600a from Guatemala to Bulgaria. Is anyone else doing this? My agency is recommending I do this - though it will create a real mess I believe if the I600a expires before the adoption completes (I'll apply for the one time free extension next month). This is my third attempt to adopt internationally - Russia, Guatemala, now Bulgaria. I'm a little jaded I guess -and not very believing of all the "trust us -Bulgaria is re-opening" talk from the adoption agencies. I keep looking for signs of movement (something-anything showing that Bulgarian adoptions really are opening again) - but only find blogs/homepages/forums where prospective parents are still waiting for a referral after many months longer that what the adoption agencies are reporting (9-18 months is what I read - depending on the agency). The Dept of state website doesn't sound positive about adoptions picking up in Bulgaria - it states there will likely only be about 20 adoptions from Bulgaria in 2008. I've already spent over $30,000 in adoption related expenses during the last three years - all for naught - and before I write this next check for $4K that my agency is asking for I want to know that those signs exist - that people are getting referals that adoptions are being completed. Has anyone heard anything concrete? Thanks, Susan[/FONT]
