We did not have any children until now. However, one other family that was staying at the Holt Guesthouse brought their 3 year old boy, who they had also previously adopted from Korea. He was doted on by the staff and seemed to have a great time. Another family staying there left their child (also a Korea adoptee) behind and it was a good thing, because their new baby cried *all night long* after he came into their care.
I think it depends on your particular child and on your comfort level handling sleep deprivation. I had to stay up nearly continuously for well over 24 hours comforting our new son and walking him around the room and then doing laps around the airplane, and my husband could not help because he came down with the flu in Korea. I basically would have lost my mind if I had to take care of two children and my husband at the same time.
