[quote=Anonymous]We just returned from a trip to my daughter's birth country. It was an amazing trip, and we even visited the orphanage where she spent the first 8 months of her life. She is now 15. I was so very surprised when one of the nannies looked at her baby photo and remembered her. She was so very warm and genuinely happy to see her again...she gave her a big hug and showed her the crib that she slept in. She was in tears and so was my daughter...a very moving experience. I think this was a very positive experience for my daughter. She is already well adjusted about being adopted, but something about knowing you were very loved in the first months before your forever family brings you home must be comforting. Of course this experience may not happen for everyone, but just wanted to share that returning to a birth country can be a positive experience for your adoptive child.[/quote]
