International Adoption, I have the weirdest question

[eeyore kelly]

Expect to receive nothing. And expect to be asked to bring a donation of things that we take for granted.

ITA!!! Sister had to bring 2 boxes the size of apple crates of donations.

Michelle thats a good question, as we have never flown before I'm not familiar at all with how many suitcases you can bring but with the traveling I want to keep it as light as possilbe. I suppose I could fit most of the list and clothing into a duffle bag for her. I do plan on buying some clothing and souveniers for her room while in China, also squeeky shoes in many different sizes for her to grow into.

Check with the airline carrier you will be traveling on. They will tell you exactly how much luggage you can bring, including the weight. You do not want to end up paying for extra or overweight luggage. Maybe it will be easier on the way back since you will have your little girl and they can count some of the luggage as hers.

Can't wait to hear more about you adventures with this adoption!

Even adopting domestically, we had to take the clothes off Noah's back and give them back to his foster mom. Don't worry about it taking up too much room, you have probably forgotten how small baby girl's clothes are!

Wow.

I never imagined that when adopting a kid, they wouldn't even get to keep the clothes on their back!

Thanks for this post, and thanks for the updates on your process, Beth. I still would like to adopt someday.

Good luck to you!
