The "St. Konstantin and Elena" Foundation team is not only ambitious but also covers excellently all specific needs of the children – Bulgarian citizens, who are going to be, are and were adopted. This team is completely prepared to provide both children and their adoptive parents with all services which might be needed before the adoption procedure is started, while the procedure is pending, as well as during the post-adoption period.

Families with loving homes are desperately wanted for children with special needs in Bulgaria. They suffer diseases and have medical conditions that make them “unattractive”. Very few families, if any, are open to adopting them. These kids will be doomed if they don’t get adopted. Their whole lives would be spent in specialized institutions and they would be robbed of the right that every human being has – to be loved and live in a permanent family set. Their potential would never be realized.

The Bulgarian Ministry of Justice ("MOJ") publishes on a regular basis a list of the special needs children currently available for international adoption. So far the list has been in the Bulgarian language only. It is believed that in the future the MOJ shall start publishing this list in English too. Until then, you can download the translation of the current list here. This list also contains children with Down Syndorme.
