I agree with MM above poster (maxx'smom) She sounds like her experience was very similar to ours. We had no children, but did bring paternal grandparents and had several days to see the sights. It was invaluable. OF course, it was Feb and so cold it wasnt funny. Our hearts were warm. The goodbye at the adoption agency was powerful and filled with hugs and tears. I can't imagine having another child there to take care of. I would not have been able to give my full attention to my new son. We met a young man on the plane that apologized for an hour for the country's inability to keep their children and how much guilt there is around the "export" of their children. All in all it was a wonderful trip to get our son. Good luck!
