Meet adorable Anya, a precious one-year-old baby who delights in the joy of playtime! Anya’s eyes light up as she tracks moving objects. With a gentle demeanor, she can reach out and briefly grab toys. Anya needs an adoptive family!

Despite facing medical challenges early in life, Anya’s resilience shines through. At just eight months old, she underwent a critical operation to place a shunt for her hydrocephalus, followed by the treatment of her lumbar myelomeningocele just a few months later. Today, she has overcome these hurdles with grace, embodying strength beyond her years.

Anya’s calm and emotionally responsive nature makes her a true joy. As she continues to thrive, she dreams of finding a forever family who will embrace her, meet her unique needs, treat her spina bifida, and provide the warm snuggles she craves. Anya awaits the opportunity to be cherished by a family to call her very own. Will you be the one to open your heart and home to this remarkable little soul?

CCAI’s Bulgaria Program

CCAI placed its first Bulgarian child in 2015 and the program has been growing ever since! Like most intercountry adoption programs today, Bulgaria places older children, children with medical needs, and/or sibling groups. The biggest “need” is for families open to children 8 and above and to children with medical conditions. In fact, families open to children with Down syndrome can often be matched in as little as 3-6 months from dossier submission!

CCAI’s parent preparation resources give families the tools they need to successfully welcome a special child into their hearts and home. The Bulgaria program is running strong and CCAI warmly invites families to view just a few of the many children waiting for their forever families.
