Bulgaria Adoption Directory

Find an adoption agency placing children from Bulgaria in your state:

The Adoption Council in Bulgaria adheres strictly to the principle that their job is to find parents for children in need, and not the other way around. Because of this, adoption applications are not handled in chronological order. Applications for special-needs children are handled first, and the wait times are considerably shorter.
