Finished!!

After spending a few weeks gathering the remaining documents and making three trips to the Secretary of State's office, our dossier is officially finished and is ready to be submitted to our agency. They will look it over, and if everything is done correctly, it will be on its way to Bulgaria. The timing worked out perfectly since we were planning to use our tax refund to cover the payment that gets submitted with our dossier. That money will come tomorrow, just in time to mail everything to our caseworker. Once the dossier is in Bulgaria, it will be translated and then sent to the MOJ (Ministry of Justice). The MOJ meets regularly to match children with their new parents. We will probably wait about a year from the time we are registered, although it could be more or less time. I'll post an update once we are registered.

Yeah! Isn't it a relief to have it all done:) I believe once your agency sends it to Bulgaria it will be translated which can take 2 weeks and then 30 days to be registered with the MOJ. Then you will be waiting with us. I noticed you started 17 months ago, we started 11 months ago! Soooo long!
