“The adoption trip is a defining moment in a family’s life,
the event that brings parent and child together at last.
Virtually all adoptive parents travel to meet their new child, to a nearby city, to another state, or to a distant country. The adoption trip is a defining moment in a family’s life, the event that brings parent and child together at last. This event usually takes place in unfamiliar surroundings, which makes it all the more memorable—and stressful. Adoptive Families asked veteran adoptive parents, those who have made the journey and lived to tell the tale, for their best travel advice, suggestions that go beyond packing lists and sightseeing recommendations. They came up with a collection of ideas that are wise—and sometimes surprising.” – From the article by Carrie Howard for Adoptive Families Magazine.
