I remember feeling exactly the way you do when we had to leave Hannah behind. It was one of the most difficult things that I have ever done. Enjoy your last day together and I hope that you have a very peaceful and uneventful trip back to the states.

We had one very 'weepy' visit with our daughter and our translator told us how good it was that she was comfortable enough to cry, and let us comfort her. We too left pictures and messages for our daughter when we had to leave after the bonding period – the caregivers were wonderful about putting the pictures on her bed, and talking to her about us while we were away, reassuring her that we were coming back. If any of your team (translators, etc) will be at the BH while you're away, ask if someone can take photos of him to email to you? We had a few pics sent to us and it was amazing!
Wishing you a fantastic last-for-now visit, with lots of kisses and hugs to tide him and you over until you return to hold him in your arms. Have a safe trip home!
Take care,
Nicole
