plum astra mariyana sheffer

what we know about plum right now is quite limited. here’s what we know so far:

plum is 3 years old.

she lives with a foster family in Bulgaria after spending her first 2.5 years in an orphanage.

she has made tremendous progress since leaving the orphanage.

she officially entered our lives march 28, and we’ve been working tirelessly since that day to get her to america. to annapolis. to us.

she loves dogs, her foster mum, and her little blue blankie.

plum does have some medical issues/developmental delays. our plan right now is for her to see a range of specialists and visit an international adoption clinic shortly after we return home. the priority (as long as her health is ok) is to spend the first weeks as a family unit at home bonding and getting to know each other.

we don’t know her birth story/family, but hope that as the adoption progresses we are able to find out more so she has that information when she’s older.

you might have noticed we are covering her face. that’s because we aren’t allowed to share photos of her until after our adoption is complete. but trust us, she has the bid dark almond shaped eyes behind her little glasses, a button nose, and the perfect little pout. we’re enamored.
