taking child
HI,
It's really a personal decision if you take your child with you or not overseas.
We didnt have any children prior to this adoption, so we didnt have this issue.
I personally felt that it would be a difficult trip to take a child on. In the town that we were in, there wasnt much to amuse a child with(eg. video game parlors, amusement parks etc.). We were delayed for court and we were basically holed up in our hotel for a few more days. When we went to our baby's orphanage, it was a 2 hr. drive each way. Once we got to Moscow we didnt have any down time to see the city. We were getting papework done etc. If you take your child with the understanding that you wont' have a lot of quality time with him/her then maybe it would be ok. The child also has to basically self-entertain himself a lot. Good luck in your decision and on your adoption.
