We are still awaiting word of our INS interview. Monday is a US holiday, so it probably won't be until Tues which means we probably won't make our flight on Thurs. Meanwhile, Sara continues to entertain the city! She imitates everything and thinks she's very funny! Getting her to go to sleep at night is quite a challenge, so any tips would be helpful!
These 2 girls LOVE Sara. The one on the left is the one who drew the picture for her.
I like to play with my sunglasses, but I won't wear them. Don't I look cute?
Another admirer!
Tonight we went to Alley Boo for dinner. Sue's meal came in this Pineapple. The whole meal costs us $12 US. We won't go into detail about the 1 1/2 hr cab ride. During the entire meal people were walking up to us trying to sell us anything from Chicklets to lighters to books. It was very sad. One little boy was about 5 and his mother had him selling gum to people. There were 2 women with babies about Sara's age selling Chicklets too. I t made me think about what kind of life Sara may have had and how lucky we all are. There is a lot of corruption going on in the Vietnam adoption process and it is very sad for the innocent children and prospective parents. We hope the program will continue and children continue to find good homes with parents who love them and can provide for them.

As far as sleep, you probably aren't in separate rooms, so that would be a challenge, but I used soothing music, and then I would alternate between spending 10 minutes comforting, and then leave for 10 minutes. White noise, such as a fan and blow dryer, and a regular before bed-time routine also helped, and sometimes babies need to cry themselves to sleep. Leslie
Sue, Gary,and Sara,
I am going to call Senator
Browns office at nine am.
We need to get all of you
home asap.
Love,
Mom and Dad Chabler
Sue-I am so happy you finally have Sara! She is beautiful and already has a prom date with Brett if she wants! We will pray for a safe and speedy trip home. As far as sleep, do whatever works right now and then re-evaluate when you get home and Sara has her own room and routine. Early parenting is all about survival! Enjoy every minute.
