Some Q & A

Ok, I have been getting lots of questions about Zack and even a few about Maria.

Q: Why does Zack only have 6 weeks left?
A:  Each Bulgarian agency or NGO only can have a certain amount of Waiting Child files at one time and only for a specified amount of time.  Once the time is up, if a family hasn't asked for the child to be placed on hold for their family then the file needs to go back to the MOJ (Ministry of Justice) and another NGO can request the file.
Q:  What is Zack's self care like?
A:  I honestly do not know, but I have emailed his current director asking.
Q: What is Zack's mobility?
A:  I know Zack can sit and move about/play on the floor.  I have been told that he did walk some at one time.
Q: Can Zack talk?
A:  Yes, he can and he can be quite chatty when he is comfortable with someone.
Q:  He looks really small for his age
A:  It is not uncommon for kids from Bulgaria to be smaller in stature or thinner.  I do believe that his appearance may also have something to do with his CP.  I do know he eats very well and have seen him eat a little in person.
Q: What is the foundation?
A:  The foundation is actually founded by a well known Bulgarian family to help children with orthopedic needs within Bulgaria.  They are not actually located in Bulgaria and Doctor Bruno and the technicians visit the children every few months.  We Skype with one of the founders weekly and have spoken with Doctor Bruno.  By the way how many international adoptive parents can say that have spoken with their child's surgeon....I have, he is AMAZING!

I'm sure there are many other questions.  Feel free to ask them.  Right now I'm not sharing specific names or locations.  As many know the world of international adoption can be very difficult.....little things can cause issues in the children's birth country.  I will share that information specifically with whatever family commits to adopting Zack.
