In 2014, MOJ in Sofia gave consent for a total of 392 adoptions of 472 children. Of those, 128 adoptions were of 173 waiting children with profiles on the MOJ website.
Here is the breakdown for 2014:
USA - 40% of all IA from BG in 2014; 155 adoptions (107 of waiting children)
ITALY - 20% of all IA from BG in 2014; 88 adoptions (12 of waiting children)
FRANCE - 10% of all IA from BG in 2014; 38 adoptions ( 4 of waiting children)

Once again, the total number of international adoptions from Bulgaria has increased from last year's count. It is interesting to note that about 37% of all children adopted were waiting children with identified special needs. In addition, we do not know how many of the children referred through the main procedure also had special needs, but I would venture to say that more than 50% of all children placed from Bulgaria in 2014 had some sort of special need.
Also, adoptions of Bulgarian children to the United States were comprised of 70% identified waiting children and only 30% main procedure referrals.
