I am creating this blog to document our adoption journey. I hope this will create wonderful memories for our family and our future child.

One Step Closer to Home
Today started off slowly but was very productive and ended with a wonderful Bulgarian experience….We had an appointment at the U.S. Embassy at 1:30 to apply for Olivia’s Visa. One of our Bulgarian attorneys met us there and had all the paperwork in order. So all we had to do was meet with the Embassy agent for about 10 minutes for an “interview.” This really just consisted of him telling us the process we will go through when we bring Olivia into the country.
One interesting fact he told us is that Olivia will actually remain a Bulgarian citizen throughout her life, and will automatically become an American citizen when she sets foot on U.S. soil. Kind of cool, I thought...
After that meeting, we went back to the hotel for a while and then headed into the mountains near Sofia for dinner at an authentic Bulgarian restaurant overlooking the city. The food was excellent, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We were able to take some beautiful winter photos along the way and then headed back to the hotel for some rest.
Tomorrow we hope to take a “lift” to the top of one of the nearby mountains for some more sightseeing until we can pick up the Visa. Starting to feel the end is in sight, can’t wait to get home!
