Misadventures
As far as we know, Andrew and Gaye are currently on a plane heading to Warsaw, Poland. They left yesterday afternooon from Dulles airport and had a short flight to Chicago. That is where the trouble began. Like the first trip to Russia, they've had a few delays along the way. In Chicago, they were on the plane ready to go to Warsaw when the crew noticed the plane had a flat tire. They sat on the plane for a few hours, hoping that the tire would be fixed. Instead they had to deboard the plane and spend the night in Chicago. They got to the Chicago airport early this morning and again had a delayed flight. We haven't heard from them since this morning, so we're assuming they're on a plane right now heading to Warsaw. Once in Warsaw they will (hopefully) get on a plane and be in Kaliningrad by 2:45pm (Kaliningrad time). They have spoken with the coordinator from their adoption agency and she is working with the contact in Kaliningrad to get their meeting with the Kaliningrad government changed from Monday to Tuesday. Hopefully they will get to see Roman on Tuesday!!! That is all we know so far. We will update the blog again as soon as we have any new information. Thank you to everyone for their love and support. I know that Andrew and Gaye truly appreciate it!

Thanks for keeping us posted. I wish I read this over the weekend - I was visiting family/friends Chicago and I could have taken them out for dinner so the delay wasn't so bad!!! Tell them I hope everything goes well in court!!!
