We are on schedule to return home on Saturday! Today we picked up Klaudia’s passport (with the priceless mug shot). Tomorrow we have an appointment at the U.S. Embassy to obtain her immigrant visa. After we receive that (hopefully by Thursday afternoon), we are free to travel. Klaudia will be traveling as a Polish citizen and, upon arrival in the United States, will become a U.S. citizen. She will be a dual citizen – cool, huh?
The plane ride will be quite an adventure. Hopefully, for other passengers’ sake, the screaming will be at a minimum. It will be long and annoying for Klaudia, but home is on the other end. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to family upon arrival. Please no one take offense if she buries her face and gives mean looks! Magda, or facilitator and translator here, says that she gets mean looks from Klaudia all the time.
The last few days have been good. Klaudia has been a trooper on some long walks, a visit to the uprising museum, shopping adventures and cab rides. She seems to be doing well with us, and communication and trust are improving daily.
I will report back after the Embassy appointment to let you know that we are good to go!

looks!
Congratulations! The embassy seemed to be the easy part so your almost done and ready to come home.
Good luck on the plane ride! Almost Home!!!!!!!!!
On Klaudia's defense she is a doll and a little flirt! She just makes you work for it! LOL! I've had several smiles from her! OF course they are always when were leaving?! In all honesty, she is a doll and she will love your family if they're anything like her mom and dad! Glad things went well and sorry that poor Ryan had to wait through everything he'd already done! What patience! Let's plan on Friday, the weather looks like it will hold!
Yay, yay, yay, yay!! I'm so excited. I can't wait to come visit sometime later this fall when you're settled. So fun!
Hooray! Home right on schedule and without the stress. I hope you have a stress free flight. As always your pictures are adorable.
YEA! How incredibly wonderful! Have a very safe trip home. It has to be an amazing feeling to be where you are at today!
