| Children Travel Checklist |
When families are getting ready to travel, it gets crazy trying to figure out what we need to take with us to pick up our child that may have never been exposed to things that children we may interact with on a regular basis. Being that both of the founders have adopted and went through the process of traveling 16 hours or more hours to bring their children home, they put a list of items that they found were helpful. Although, these mothers adopted all girls they are depending on other blended families to inform them on what boys items were very useful for that long travel home.
