OK, 22 hours and counting :-) At least until our flight leaves... Hayden just left with Mamaw and Papaw to spend the night so Tom & I could pack and get everything ready to go. We're also going to have dinner at Pappasito's since it will be awhile until we see Mexican food again!!
We arrive in Warsaw around noon on Sunday. Magda, our facilitator there, will pick us up and we'll drive the 2 or so hours to Czestochowa. We may have to stay in a hotel for the first few days... hoping not, but sounds like there may be an issue with the apartment until August 1. Not perfect, but in the grand scheme of this journey, no big deal! On Monday, we meet the regional adoption officials first thing in the morning - my understanding is that this is essentially the first hearing in the adoption process. We then meet the director of the orphanage, and then finally, Paulina. If all goes well, we could get custody as early as Monday!!
Hopefully our next post will be less of me rambling about preparation and more good stuff!!!!

The final countdown!! I'll be thinking of you :-)
Well, by now you should be there. Hope the flight was not too bad. Rest Sunday and send some pics as soon as you can! Best wishes to all,from Swansons in AK.
So.... it's around dinnertime Monday there - do you know where your children are? :) I'm dying to know if you guys have custody of Paulina already or if you've at least met her in person yet!
Hope all is going well so far. Don't let Tom eat too many rolls!
Where's the update?!?! Where's the update?!?! How is it going? Did you meet Paulina? Just like everyone else....I can't wait to hear all about it!!
