http://sailerchina.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Home Study Interviews Complete! We have completed another "leg" of our journey! A week and a half ago we completed all four of our Home Study interviews. In nervous preparation for these interviews, I cleaned, prayed, and cleaned some more. All of the interviews went great and we were deemed worthy to adopt a special needs child from China! Each step we take gets us that much closer to becoming a family of five! We are praying it arrives safely. Posted by The Sailers. This fami...

The Sailer Chronicles: Adoption: Six Months
http://sailerchina.blogspot.com/2013/02/six-months.html
Thursday, February 21, 2013. Six months since we held you for the first time. I can hardly believe that we have had Nathan in our arms for six months already! I am going to be honest (because I need to be) and say that adjusting to having Nate in our family has not been easy. Do I absolutely adore him? Would I do it all over again? Have I had days where I just wanted to sit on the floor and cry because I felt overwhelmed? Here are just a few of Nate's many changes over the last 6 months:. February 21, 20...

Friday, August 31, 2012. This is our last post from China! We are excited to be leaving tomorrow having enjoyed this time to bond with Nate and experience all of the sights, sounds, and (many) smells of his birth country. Tomorrow he will officially become a United States citizen and meet brother and sister for the first time! Prayers for our 20 hours of travel are appreciated! Below are some pics from our last couple of days in China. Application for Nate's Visa to enter the USA is complete! Doctor's vi...

The Sailer Chronicles: Adoption: March 2012
http://sailerchina.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 1, 2012. Snow, Cookies, and LID. In the previous post, our Dossier was mailed to China. CCCWA (or China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption) received our Dossier on Feb.8th and we received a LID (or Log-In Date) of Feb.15th. We both finished our 12 hours of Parent Training a few days later. So what is next you ask? I had to do some research to get all my letters and numbers right! My two little Snow Angels :). The Snowmen are melting! Posted by The Sailers. September 1, 2012 - Home!

The Sailer Chronicles: Adoption: April 2012
http://sailerchina.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 15, 2012. Crystal and the kids have been busy as of late, so I have decided to infringe upon her sacred blog to announce some great news.our LOA arrived! This is a big deal because it officially matches us specifically to Nathan in the eyes of the Chinese adoption authorities along with giving us the ability to start our travel approval paperwork with US immigration. In addition to the LOA this past week, our homestudy update was also completed and sent away to USCIS. Posted by The Sailers.
