We are right there with you. We have a 3 and 5 year old and we went around and around for a while. We just couldn't leave them for two weeks without a parent. So my wonderful husband is staying at home with the boys so that they have one parent and I am going to China with my Mom for help. We opted for me to go since we wanted our daughter to bond with me first since I will be at home with her every day. I know many other parents have the Dad go to keep the home world more stable so that is another option. If you choose to go as a whole family another option is to take Grandma (or a helper) to China to concentrate on your older child while you have appointments.... I understand the day you get your daughter is pretty intense so the Grandma could take your older child for a walk if needed. It is very much like inviting a child into the birth of a sibling. It can be very intense so they need someone to look out for them while you are doing things only you can do.
