It could always be worse. My cousin was adopted from China, and my aunt and uncle had to fly to China to get her. They went with a large group of American parents who were all adopting their daughters, because the Chinese adoption officials like to handle everything in groups. So they go, and they pick up their daughter, who is FREAKED at these weird-looking white people who probably smelled bizarre to her; the baby was about 14 months old and she really wanted to go home to her foster mother. To make it all worse, she was sick with an ear and sinus infection, and she had foul, painful diarrhea. So my aunt and uncle, who had never been parents before, got to take this child on three or four airplanes to get from Guangzhou to Memphis - and on the trans-Pacific part of the flight, there were SEVERAL of these babies.
Just be glad you weren't on THAT flight!
