Introduction of Civil Union Bill may have affected the adoption process, no adoptions since

Since the introduction of the Civil Union Bill granting homosexual partners joint adoption rights, a spokesperson from Appogg Adoption Services has confirmed that no new adoptions have been registered or successfully approved.

The Bill was brought before Parliament in September 2013 and signed into law on 16 August 2014. It grants civil unions the same rights as marriage, including joint adoption.

The adoption process, from beginning to end, can take up to a few years, considerable financing, preparatory courses, home visits as well as submitting all the necessary reports. It is in no way a quick or easy process, but for certain couples who are either infertile or physically incapable of bearing children together, it is their only hope.

Adoption issues in Bulgaria

Traditionally, adoption in Bulgaria is usually veiled in secrecy. There are various reasons for that: fear of losing the child’s love or not wanting people to know about one’s infertility. However, recently more and more parents decide to share the truth.

This is the chance of society to realize that adoption is not something shameful or frightening but a worthy act and another way for a family to have a child. Another issue is the fact that there are so many children left without parental care in peaceful times.
