[quote=Anonymous]Everyone I know who adopted from China has had several days of tourism built into the trip. I think it's often scheduled around meetings to deal with paperwork, etc before meeting the child. It also gives the parents a chance to learn a little bit about the country they are adopting from. But it seems weird to add vacation days after you have adopted. I can't imagine you'd get much out of it-after all you have this wonderful new person in your life-I'd think that would be consuming all your energy. Traveling with a toddler you've cared for their entire life is hard enough, one where you're just figuring out her schedule, signals, etc and don't share a language with be 10x harder.[/quote]
