sounds great!
your 12 yr old may just be concerned that somehow addy won't return. Look, my inlaws can't wrap their heads around this open adoption stuff and freak every time we mention dd's bfamily. The fact that we went to visit bfamilies for a week drove them insane. No matter how often I explain how this works, they still think bfamilies will kidnap dd  . My guess would be that she's trying to work her head around the visit and what it means for your family. Even though part of her may accept what you say about adoption being final, there may be that nagging part that doesn't buy it.
hope you have a great time  ,
Lisa
