Adoption Agencies

No assessments or recommendations are made of the following agencies. They are merely listed as a resource for interested families to investigate for themselves. If you find an agency that you are interested in, research it. Read through their website. Call or visit their office and talk to the staff in charge of their Bulgarian program. Make contact with several families who have recently successfully completed adoptions from Bulgaria through that agency.
It is important to note that no one agency is the right fit for every family. Each of us have our own priorities, our own style, our own viewpoints... and so do agencies. What is a perfect fit for one family may be a problem for another. Families may legitimately have totally different experiences with the same agency.
Some tips about finding an adoption agency that is a good fit for your family:

Again please note: No assessments or recommendations are made of the following agencies. They are merely listed as a resource.
These are some of the agencies, worldwide, with websites that state that they have current adoption programs in Bulgaria that I have been able to find on the Internet. By no means is this list ever going to be complete as agencies are starting up and changing programs constantly. I update the list as I am able, please note the latest update date. Please feel free to send suggestions and updated information to terrymand@aol.com.
