A question
What are people’s thoughts on my taking Oscar to Ethiopia when I pick up his sister sometime next year? Obviously, there are pros and cons on each side. He’ll be far too young to actually remember such a trip, but it would be part of our family history, so there’s an advantage there. I also just cannot imagine going away for over a week without him. After all the work we’ve done with respect to attachment, I hate to think of the impact leaving him with my friends / parents would have on him (in addition to what I’m already going to do to him adding a sister to the mix). The downsides are the travel, the less than ideal conditions (although I don’t know if they’re any more difficult than those in Vietnam and we did fine there), and the split in my attention (although he’ll be getting used to that). Anyone out there actually do anything like this?
