No, it was my local laws. They made me shutdown the fundraiser during my adoption with India so by the time I got to Bulgaria I couldn't fundraise at all. They consider fundraising "advertising" for a birth mom 🙄, same reason they told me I couldn't talk about my journey publicly even though seven months earlier they said I could as long as I wasn't fundraising. For India I got approval from my agency to apply for a Reece's Rainbow grant and then one day they suddenly told me I couldn't anymore. All my issues with fundraising and sharing my journey have been locally, it's honestly been a nightmare.
@@TheChoiceofMotherhood Wow, I had no idea. Even more impressive that you made it through to the other side! I can't wait to see the vlogs of you home with your daughter!
Haha not completely on the other side yet 😂. My plans (both timeline wise and financially) never seem to go according to plan. Something always seems to set me back. But almost there! Super close!
So weird that you werent able to fundraise... Is that for all Bulgarian adoptions?
