[quote=Anonymous]We adopted internationally and had a two week vacation as well but that was before we picked up our child up. I wouldn't have done it after because of what people said- you need quiet time to bond with your child. We were able to do it beforehand because our agency had us do a one hour meeting with our child and then another one hour meeting a couple days later. So it was structured with plenty of down time that otherwise would have just had us sitting in our hotel looking at each other if we didn't travel. But once we got our child, we left the next day. Also, I am originally from that country and hadn't been back since I immigrated so my sightseeing had a different feel than most adoptive parents' travel would. [/quote]
