We adopted our daughter from Kaz last year and are planning to return in early 2007. We are leaving our daughter with my parents. Its a hard decision but we decided to do this for a few reasons.

First off, while some babyhouses will let you bring your child with you, some don't and most are particular. A runny nose or cough and your child is not allowed in. We don't have anyone to watch our daughter while on our visits and I think she would be freaked out by a russian speaking babysitter (jmo).

Also, the medical care in Kaz scares me. I wouldn't want my daughter to get seriously ill while in country, I've been to the doctor in Kaz, it was scary.

Finally, I just think that our new child deserves the same separate bonding time we had with our daughter. I think it was such a valuable process for my husband and I as well as our daughter.

Hope that helps, I know that some people do successfully bring their child but for us it just isn't the right decision.
