Chapter 5 - still waiting

We are still waiting to hear from the Ministry of Justice in Bulgaria if we are matched with "Luke" or not. We have decided to go with Nightlight Agency for our home study and have filled out the application and submitted it. We start the payments and the process after we hear about our match. It's tough to get the timing right on everything here. Once we find out we are a match, we have 6 months to get our home study, training, and dossier done and submitted for everything to be valid still. Plus we have to pay all of our fees and be ready to travel to Bulgaria to meet "Luke"!

It feel strange to be sitting around waiting for all this stuff to start. We have all the paperwork completed and ready to submit, but we can't go on any of it.

The craziest part is that "Luke" doesn't even know about us! He's just over there living his life and we already love him and think of him as our son. He won't know anything until we get the official referral from Bulgaria which won't be for another 4-6 months. When we meet him, after doing all the paperwork and preparations, he could decide he doesn't want to be with us. That is so scary and hard to think about.

Joe and Bella are as excited as ever about "Luke" joining our family. Hopefully we will hear soon about the match!
