Bulgarian Adoption program
Word Links has recently established its Bulgarian international adoption program. We have excellent relationships with the Bulgarian adoption officials and have strong ties to the officials of the orphanages with which we work.
Bulgarian children are mainly of Roma descent, having beautiful features with olive complexions and big brown eyes. They reside in orphanages and are well loved and cared for.
We’re With You Every Step of the Way
While in Bulgaria you will be assisted by our professional associates (the Family National Association) who are licensed by the Bulgarian Government. Our associates will guide you through the adoption process from start to finish, helping to ensure that your experience in Bulgaria proceeds as smoothly as possible. After you return home from Bulgaria with your child, you can take advantage of World Links’ post adoption counseling, mentoring and social networks services. Our numerous events and get-togethers with other adoptive families provide continued support to families after the international adoption process is successfully completed.

Adoption process
After you submit an application, World Links will promptly begin the international adoption process. You will be assigned a consultant to help you gather the documents needed for your Bulgarian adoption dossier. Once your dossier is compiled and translated, it will be forwarded to Bulgaria. Referrals are received after documents are reviewed by a committee from the Bulgarian Ministry, who will match a child to based on your age, gender and health preferences. You will be notified as soon as a referral becomes available and receive an invitation to travel to Bulgaria.
Your referral contains a profile of a waiting child best matching the description of the child you would like to adopt. It includes the name of the prospective child, along with a picture, video and relevant medical and social information. If you choose to accept the referral and continue to the next step, World Links will schedule your trip and assist with all travel arrangements.
In order to complete a Bulgarian adoption, two trips are required. Only one parent is required each trip, although both may choose to travel. Travel to Bulgaria on the first trip lasts 7 days, and the second trip lasts 7-10 days. There is a 10-12 week wait in between first and second trips.
Our English-speaking adoption associates will assist you from the moment you arrive in Bulgaria until you return home with your newly adopted child.
