The purpose of this meeting was to mutually acquaint the representatives of the accredited organizations with deputy minister Velina Todorova who is in charge of adoptionsand to be introduced to the policy and new manner of work of the new team of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). Deputy minister Velina Todorova stated that her mission is to facilitate and make easier the adoption procedure and in particular the procedure for entering children in the MoJ international register – which currently is one of the slowest parts of the entire adoption process.
Mrs. Todorova suggested that monthly working meetings are organized with representatives of the accredited organizations in order to solve problems as they arise and to examine prospects for developing joint projects in the future.

In the spring of 2012 we received the greatest news of all – we were about to become parents of a little girl from Bulgaria. She had a difficult start in life and she was placed in a baby home in Sofia where she was waiting for her mum and dad to take her home. We received a picture where we saw a tiny little girl with brown curly hair and enormous brown eyes. She was so cute, so beautiful! Later it turned out that we both felt one and the same feeling simultaneously – yes, this is her, our daughter, and no one else!
