My daughter was 21 months when we arrived home. And I would do it again in a heart beat. Actually next time I hope to go older. My daughter was a caged animal on day 1 and we spent abotu 1 hour together. On day 2 she ran away from me at first sight of me -- no joke -- but I forced her to spend the day with me anyway. On day 3 she went with me, unhappy at first, and spent the day. On day 4 she let me know that I was mom and I best start acting like it -- including not returning her to the orphanage at night. Each child and each family are different but personally I would take a toddler over an infant any day.
